Short history... I ordered a Predator X34 a week ago and returned it after a day because the backlight glow was very distracting when playing dark games. The HP X34 seemed a little overprice imo, and the Predator Z35P is not out in the states yet to I ordered the AOC Agon 35.
So, I have been messing with the calibration settings and I got it to a reasonably good calibration but testing it in games and websites with my old monitor next to the new one it just looks... hazy. Like, a little washed out. The colors just don't look as good as they should and I don't know why. When I game, it feels as though I am looking through a slightly hazy, kind of washed-out filter.
My old monitor that is right next to my new one is strikingly more crisper than the new one. I have messed with every setting on the AOC and gone through the Windows display calibration and can't get it to look as good as the Benq I have next to the AOC.
(Btw, does anyone know what "Game Color" means in the settings? Can't see it explained anywhere online. It just appears to make the colors pop a little more)
Is it because the AOC is a VA panel and my Benq GW2765HT is IPS? Is it because the Benq is a 2560x1440 image at 27" and the AOC is a 3440x1440 image in a 35" screen?
I have attached some pictures below to try and illustrate the best that I can what I mean with some of my desktop wallpapers.
Let's compare some of these so you can see what I mean. This first photo is on my Benq. The second is the same picture on my new AOC. On the AOC you can see a clear line in the middle of the picture basically separating the dark and light sides of the photo.
Benq
AOC Agon
Here is one more shot of a dark background with the earth on the bottom and the sun. On the AOC I see a huge halo effect around the sun in the picture... a hazy brightness extending out from the sun. On the Benq next to it, there is just the clear sun in view with no weird haze around it.
So is this just a visible representation in some way of the difference between VA and IPS, or is there something else going on here? Am I calibrated wrong? The pictures btw are all native 3440x1440.
I don't know what to think and am questioning returning this one too and just getting a standard monitor instead of constantly experimenting with these ultrawides. This is my first plunge into this sort of monitor territory... before this as you can see from the Benq I had, I never spent anywhere near this much on monitors. So perhaps my expectations for this kind of monitor are wrong? For $1000 i'd expect the monitor to be damn-near perfect, or at least better than the Benq.
