    Current alternative to W-LED backlighting?

    Ever tried to video chat with someone who wears glasses and sits in a dark room? Pay attention to the reflections in their glasses. Even if they have youtube open or any other website with white background, you will notice the screen reflection is all blue. This pretty much shows you the amount...

    Eye-strain with new monitor - how did you deal with it?

    When I read posts of people complaining about eye strain from LED backlit displays, most of the answers that follow are: get eye drops, take breaks, check your eyes and/or get a pair of glasses, use f.lux or get a monitor with low blue light. I literally wonder what makes people believe flux is...

    Current alternative to W-LED backlighting?

    partikl: I've used MacBookPros as well as the most recent 5K Cinema Display from LG which was over 1000 EUR and they were both unusable in the long run. From what you wrote you seem to suffer W-LEDs just as I do. I still have a few CCFL-backlit monitors stacked to be able to work. I can read...

    CCFL or LED 2015

    I am yet to see a decent LED backlit monitor where text is readable and doesn't hurt eyes after several hours of staring at it. So far all the WLED backlit VA and IPS panels with or without AG coating were terrible - those without AG coating were totally unusable. I have no idea where one has to...

    CCFL/WLED/GB-R-LED eye comfort for you

    I have exactly the same problem as code)sorc. All LED backlit monitors I've tested so far, regardless of being glossy/matte, PWM-free or not, IPS/TN cause severe eye damage - after a few hours my eyes are red and they hurt. I bought a few CCFL backlit monitors and keep them as backup displays...

    Acer H226HQL - glossy and cheap 22inch IPS without PWM (review)

    @Murzilka: How do you deal with reflections? Or they simply do not bother you?

    Acer H226HQL - glossy and cheap 22inch IPS without PWM (review)

    I have just got that monitor today. My first absolutely glossy panel after all the matte ones. Colors are great, it's pretty fast in games - I haven't noticed any ghosting. Black is pretty black and I seem to have gotten quite lucky with the panel that doesn't have much BLB (it's not noticable...

    A good 23-24" 16:9 IPS monitor?

    I thought you were quite happy with P2414H based on your previous posts?

    EW2440L

    Gamma shift was visible, viewing angles are definitely not as good as on IPS panel and you see black turn slightly into gray, it's already visible if you sit close to it and look left/right but it didn't bother me much. It's not as bad as on TN panel. Back light bleed - it was pretty low...

    EW2440L

    @Bluesun311: I did try it over HDMI. Initially I thought it may be something with the first HDMI port so tried with the second one - no difference. @morkys: Let me know your thoughts if you manage to test EW2440L yourself. Not sure I want to go through the hassle of returning another one with...

    EW2440L

    I am not sure if this particular one I've got was a bad apple or they are all the same. If you ever had an old CRT monitor where things started to get blurry over the time - especially when red color was slightly off causing things a bit fuzzy. This one had colors all in place of course, but...

    EW2440L

    I have just purchased this monitor (EW2440L). Colors are great and it's practically flicker-free. Thin bezel is just a marketing as you still have about 5mm black, non-displayed area on the top and left/right sides. On the bottom it's perfectly fine. Unfortunately my first experience with this...
