It does seem annoying to me, but weigh the options. Screens like this generally have flaws and are graded based on number of defects. You're likely to come across some other issue in whatever replaces it. Of course, for the price, I agree that I'd expect it to be better. I have noticed that LG...

Someone in Korea on reddit.com/r/monitors has one and is reviewing it. https://reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/hyqss6/27gn950_measurement_and_review/

This thing has a fan in it. :(

No joke, last year I had my cat's fur get inside my monitor between the panel and backlight. Don't try to open it--it'll just get worse. Trust me.

Careful, you want the 2019 versions of either the 4 or 5 series, not the 2018 versions. The old ones have cross-hatch dithering, but the 2019 ones don't. The correct link for the 4 series is https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/4-series-2019

Well, if it bothers you, don't hesitate to RMA if it reveals itself again. This isn't normal.

It's delamination. The polarizer is separating from the LCD. Definitely RMA it. Could be a bad batch with poorly applied adhesive or maybe it's humid where you live. Regardless, this shouldn't happen, especially not in 7 months.

There is actually an interesting phenomenon that can come into play here. LCD and OLED are both sample-and-hold type displays, so the pixels change and then they remain solid until they're changed. The response time on OLED is so fast that you're perceiving all the intermediate steps of the...

It could be permanent. The popular belief that LCDs can't have permanent image retention is wrong. However, if you're only just seeing it today, turn the monitor off for the night and see if it's there in the morning. It probably won't be. To prevent it in the future, you could try turning down...

Whoa there. You left the screen size at 15.6". At your viewing distance it says you can see 191ppi. For the proper monitor sizes, 30" and 32", those would be 101ppi and 138ppi for their respective resolutions. Both are way less sharp than your vision, so you'd see an significant increase in...

"10-bit color" support is basically useless. Almost nothing outputs in 10-bit color except photo software. The main thing it gets you is a guarantee that the panel is at least 8-bit per component. *addendum: 92 DPI is kind of annoying. The pixels are just large enough to be obvious. 100-115 DPI...

No, that doesn't look good. Looks like pressure is being applied from the back, which means poor construction. This could be spec for the monitor in question, but it could also be warping or improper mounting. Something like this can get worse with time, as constant pressure will damage the...

I don't think there are any 27" 4k VA panels out there right now, they're usually only 32".

If it were the consistent bottle-neck it would be close to linear. What I think might have happened is that it only just started bottle-necking (on fill-rate, memory bandwidth, or shader throughput) somewhere between the old and new resolution, and the resolution/performance slope is a lot...

It's not pixelated because of antialiasing, but it certainly is a bit hazy. 3 feet might be a little far, so that helps. Usually I'm about 2 feet away. You can't deny that increasing the PPI increases the sharpness. It's simple logic. More pixels for the same physical size means more detail can...
