    LG 27MB85R-B new WQHD AH-IPS ?

    I noticed that initially as well. I don't think it's a connection issue. I think it's because QHD just isn't "retina" (an Apple-manufactured spec, but a spec nonetheless. You can figure out your device's retina-ness with a calculation: http://isthisretina.com). A 27", 2560x1440 (QHD) display...

    LG 27MB85R-B new WQHD AH-IPS ?

    I perceive no color shifting when viewing solid white or other solid colors across the screen. I may have something slight on the lower left and right sides near the bottom (coming out an inch or so) -- corner glow or I don't know what to call it. When viewing the screen in white, it appears as...

    LG 27MB85R-B new WQHD AH-IPS ?

    Okay, my graphics is Intel, but maybe that doesn't matter. I'll check out other connections, and in general, moving forward. Acht, I remember your displayport mention earlier now too. My brain is jello. Dude, you've covered a lot here. Thanks Nikyo... edit 8Feb: Further delving in the...

    LG 27MB85R-B new WQHD AH-IPS ?

    Hey Nikyo I'm shooting for 6500, 120, 2.2 with an ambient light adjustment. Getting the monitor to dispcalgui's R,G,B and brightness targets prior to calibration ended with the LG set to 53, 48, 56 and 16 respectively. I ran a "report on calibrated device" after the calibration/profile...

    LG 27MB85R-B new WQHD AH-IPS ?

    Oh boy. Did another dispcalgui calibration/profile. This one I did L*a*b LUT as opposed to the first couple which were curves + matrix and XYZ LUT + matrix. The results are more or less the same. I can't find the log, where it tells me what the actual numbers achieved are. It's closer to the...

    LG 27MB85R-B new WQHD AH-IPS ?

    I can post said requested picture of one badass LG, unsatisfactorily calibrated as it may be, in a properly exposed, low-lit setting, with the HardOCP home page displayed. However, I can't figure out how to attach pictures here. Maybe it has something to do with the Posting Rules sign at the...

    LG 27MB85R-B new WQHD AH-IPS ?

    Hey, if I can see both sets of numbers on my laptop screen (on which I'm viewing this), does that mean its sharpness is too low...too? Greetings all. Replacement arrived today. Fired it up -- brightness was at 100. Ouch. Dialed that down. Let it warm for an hour under some rolling...

    The thought crossed my mind that they sent me one of your returns, heh. Thanks Nikyo, Kasai. I'll update when replacement comes.

    LG 27MB85R-B new WQHD AH-IPS ?

    My LG 27MB85R-B came today and I was very excited, but lo, I sent it back for replacement due to bad pixels, and a lower left corner bleed -- or glow -- that seemed pretty extreme to me. As has been mentioned, B&H is currently out of stock. It took 10 days for this to arrive (I'm in New York...
