IPS gets HOT! Anyone else? What to do?

post #1 of 12

Thread Starter 
My HP zr24w (CCFL)...gets HOT (touched the top of it)...especially now that we are having like a 100F summer heatwave....though AC is on....so it really shouldn't matter.

It's hot enough...I think I could slowly cook an egg on it...I used to think it was my PC that made my room hot....now I'm starting to think it's the IPS monitor.

Should I try to sell it?? And grab an LED like the Dell U2412??

What do you guys think??

Anyone else get a lot of heat from their CFFL IPS?? Dell U2410 users?

Room gets hot because:

- IPS Monitor
- PC
- Bad AC circulation

or maybe a combination...no idea...

I have a U3011 and it does put out a lot of heat. Now mine never got really hot to the touch but my ambient wasn't as high as yours. There is no comparing the heat output of your computer vs a monitor. If you want to switch monitors do it for a reason that justifies the change, not because the monitor puts out some heat.

Your rig will be generating way more heat then your monitor, I wouldn't change your monitor..

Every U2711 I've had (4) gets hot/warm at the top. Normal, I guess.

Alright sounds like I should just deal with it..as it's completely normal. The weird thing is...i have noticed sometimes the monitor gets pretty hot...but other times is completely fine...im not sure what causes this...like right now, it's been on for 30 minutes...and it's totally fine....i guess maybe it takes like...2+ hours to get hot or something...not sure...weird.

Also the AC sensor is all the way in the other side of my house....so even when my room gets hot..it doesn't trigger the AC....grrrrrr..... Ooo well.

  • It's not an arrow. It's a... Pencil!
Even my LED IPS gets pretty warm to touch especially on corners...

The aux monitor I use (LED TN) is absolutely cool, so for some reason IPS monitors must get hotter than TNs.

Monitors will all heat up to a degree. 50-150 watts at maximum brightness is typical depending on the size of the display, how modern it is, and what kind of backlight it uses. Those Korean LED-backlit 27" IPS displays for instance are rated at 70W max. Your monitor will probably say on the back what its maximum power consumption is.

In any case, it's important to note that temperature and heat output aren't interchangeable. Your monitor feels hotter than your PC case because your monitor is a bit smaller and it's passively cooled. If it had a fan in it like your PC it would run quite a bit cooler. The temperature of the object is not itself necessarily an indicator of how much heat it is contributing to your room. If you had a dime sized object suspended in a room of still air and it was generating 5 watts of heat, the object would burn you if you touched it even though its heat output is insignificant.

The only "cool" monitor I ever had was an Asus VH238H, my current LG IPS panels and my Samsung T220HD both get pretty toasty. Never been an issue, though.

My 27" lcd (hp2709m) runs very warm, used to have my pc near the thermostat in my house and the house was never the right temp. Now I have 3 u2412m's and all 3 put together don't put off as much heat as the one 27" did. Granted I do run the backlight at 35%, but they are way to bright at 100%.
