Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

BenQ BL2710PT Review: 2560x1440 Matte AHVA (AUO's Version of IPS/PLS)
Have you tried popping the bezel off? Frequently BLB is caused by pressure from the bezel. -

AOC Q2770PQU
What panel does your AOC have? I saw three in a row that all had the same dark corner area. -

Which screenshots? I see only two, and they don't really show it. -

AOC Q2770PQU
Anything like this? (Camera exaggerates things a bit but the stuff on the right-hand side is visible.) I don't notice the gradient to the left, but I keep seeing the "splotch" in the lower 1/3 of the right edge. I otherwise really enjoy this model, but easily visible artifacts annoy me. I... -

AOC Q2770PQU
The first one was pixel-perfect but arrived with three scratches on the bezel. The AG coating had a subtle streak that didn't affect viewing but that was visible with the unit powered off in bright light. I also noticed the lower corners (especially the lower right) were a little darker than... -

The returns system asks why you're returning it. If you say it's defective, you then specify why and whether you want a replacement. The system then gives you a return label immediately, and the replacement shipment is handled by humans within an hour or so. If you just don't want it, then you... -

AOC Q2770PQU
Because bright 6500K CFL light is not pleasant at 2:00am! There is a middle ground, though, which is turning up SOME ambient light (at a color temperature appropriate for night time use) and dropping the monitor's color temperature to match it. I use f.lux to do this automatically, and it has... -

AOC Q2770PQU
There are three possibilities: 1) they got really lucky, 2) they measured it wrong, or 3) the sample was hand-picked. I tried three of them and all three had the exact same luminance and color pattern, all visible with the naked eye on a white screen, with varying amounts of max deviation (all... -

AOC Q2770PQU
I'm guessing you meant "not overly bright." It's not always clear how the colors are set on the monitors when these reviews measure luminance. Either they got a bad sample or they had the adjustments set funny. In user color mode 50/50/50 you'll get max brightness but a warmer than 6500K... -

AOC Q2770PQU
I've used Ultrasharps for many years at work and know the sparkle effect very well. I don't see ANY on this monitor. It's a very night AG. Being Samsung PLS it doesn't have crosshatching either. The panel is LTM270DL02 which is also used in the Viewsonic VP2770, PB278Q, QNIX QX2710, and Dell... -

Looking for 27" LED recommendations - WQHD
I considered low cost UHD but decided not to for the following reasons: TN panel, and after using cheap TN panels for years and I'd much prefer IPS Pixel density is too high to run at 1:1 comfortably OS X can run in 2x "retina" mode, and while the clarity would be breathtaking, it renders... -

AOC Q2770PQU
The minimum value on the VP2770 is an interesting data point. Thanks. How much darker the BL2710PT goes is a bit of a question for me right now. NCX measured 65, but it's not clear what the settings were with that measurement. Other reviews using Standard mode quoted values in the 40s, which... -

BenQ BL2710PT Review: 2560x1440 Matte AHVA (AUO's Version of IPS/PLS)
For those with luminance meters: What are you measuring for minimum native panel luminance (in User mode with all channels 100%)? I seem to recall NCX getting 65 cd/m2. I have the AOC and am trying to figure out if the BenQ goes noticeably dimmer on the backlight control. If it's only 65... -

AOC Q2770PQU
I sit anywhere from 18" to 26" away depending on use. Over the past week I haven't set the brightness above zero, and in the evening, I have to reduce the contrast setting to reduce brightness to a level compatible with my room lighting. It's not a show-stopper, but for a new purchase it would... -

AOC Q2770PQU
I just tried this for you and can confirm that the audio-in does not function when using DisplayPort. I don't have a way to test with the other inputs. After trying it for a week there are two things that bug me: 1. The lower 1/3 at the right hand side is noticeably dark (see my post...
