so i got two LG E2370V-BF. both seems to have light bleed at the bottom corners. Are these all like this for IPS/LED monitors? should i return them back to newegg...?

I took some pictures of this in a dark room with no light except the monitor being powered on with a black image in the back.

I have the same monitors as you and mine does it also on two of them but not on one. Mine arent as noticeable as yours though. If you don't have to pay return shipping or restocking fees and it really bothers you, return it.

What is your monitor brightness at? If it's at 100% you might try turning it down to 70-75% and see what happens.

 

[nova_prime]

my monitor brightness and settings is sRGB, Brightness is turned down to 30 only. I've tried higher brightness and same issue with corner bleedings horribly.

 

[karsa_orlong]

my brightness is pretty high for mine. 80+. i also use "warm" coloring. and gamma 1.

 

[nova_prime]

i'll RMA them for replacements and see how those go. I'm thinking its going to be "Hit or Miss" with these light bleeding.

 

[nova_prime]

So I have my replacements. I'm not sure what to say anymore since the backlight bleed on the right corner is still there. I think its the same issue on all of these LG IPS Series.

Anyone else thought on this...? Return for my $$ back and wait for a Dell / HP IPS...?

Monitor 1

Monitor 2 (not too bad actually)

i started reading... "i got 2 LG..." and stopped there. you get what you pay for with LG. LG seems synonymous with low quality.

My E2370V's. Just ignore the corner with the crosshairs. Stupid dead pixel tester wasn't cooperating. If you see what looks like pixels the wrong color, it's my ****ty camera. They have no dead pixels or stuck pixels in person.

Right:

Both monitors at a distance (only right panel on for comparison):

Edit: Forgot to mention. 30 brightness, 50 contrast is my current settings on both panels. That makes a huge difference in back light bleed. They come so cranked up its insane.

I take it you prefer higher quality brands TN panels? ****ty brand IPS > top brand TN all day long.

ignore my monitors for now im about to replace them with higher quality stuff..

according to my research LG just seems to make lower quality products compared to other manufacturers. in the same class products, LGs tend to be a little cheaper but i think its safer to spend the extra $40-50 to get a higher quality build.

personally, i'm just tired of buying entry level stuff for them to break a few months down the road....

 

[nova_prime]

strobe---> your monitor backlight looks a lot better than mine for sure. maybe i'll return them back for my $$$ and wait for those new Dell IPS coming out this year...

I agree that about buying upper end stuff for peace of mind. I don't seem to have this association with LG being cheap apparently. I just dropped over 700 bucks on liquid cooling, yet still use LG monitors lol. I just can't seem to justify to myself spending 400+ per monitor vs the 239 for LG's like those in this thread. Dell isn't exactly quality either and those are around the same price as LG for equivalent e-IPS panels. To get out of this e-IPS class of monitors you got to drop around 400+ for anything decent.

Turn your brightness and contrast to the same as mine. Also keep in mind that in my PM I said my camera doesn't capture the bleed that well. They look worse in person than they do in the pics. I tried putting my camera in high ISO mode and it just went like 5x bleed mode. So my camera is just too ****ty to properly catch it. I'd say your 2nd monitor looks within spec. The first one and the ones before replacements are rubbish.

LG actually makes a number of the IPS panels that are in some of the highly acclaimed monitors that get recommended a lot. They make good panels. To a small extent, the unevenness in the bottom corners when the image is just black is typical on a lot of IPS monitors. It is never noticeable when the image isn't just a 100% black screen. I say keep them.

^This

I don't notice the back light bleed except during like a games black loading screen or something. General use never seems to show the flaws and I'm a really picky person.

lg monitors dont seem to have swivel stands which isnt a big deal and maybe one of the reasons they are cheaper.
overall it seems that in every class lg is cheaper than other monitors. and even worse their warrant is very limited. anything can go wrong with any monitor and that extra yr or 2 warranty can make a big difference.

i have the la2405 and its easily the worst monitor i've experienced. coz i went cheap and consumer level.

now before i buy a product i only read the negative reviews then make up my mind. i will not touch another hp monitor.. and, seems kinda harsh but i wont even look at an lg lol. which is unfair coz lg does make panels for other laptop manufacturers.

Not just laptops, LG panels are in a boat load of monitors. When you do research on panels there is a few sites that talk about the panels inside many different monitor brands/models and there is some REALLY nice monitors using LG panels. LG isn't top notch, but at least it isn't sceptre lmao.

 

[nova_prime]

i think the LG panels are fine...just the way each vendor chooses to implement their backlight etc...
