i made this thread so i can get some focus on this...

can any one test this.

make this color in full screen "70,70,70" and look carefully to the center of screen.
i want to know if your can see this color clean on entire screen or not,
i see here some slight distortion "Uniformed ",looks like a weak light so the color become a little dimmed.

with a very slight "thick dimmed line" crossing the screen from side to side
i want to know is this a problem or just a common thing?

cause i can realize it with a dark shade color only if i focus although it's very slight.

thanks.
 
sorry,,i don't have a decent camera to capture detail like this.

but you can look at your lcd and tell me if you can see this color clean from side to side especially the center.
 
Sounds like PVA color shift. Does the center of the screen appear darker than the outsides? Move your head side to side parallel to the screen, and the dark area in the middle will move with you.
 
Since I don't know what type of progam you used, or the monitor settings, or the settings of whatever program etc...
I used Paint with the default settings and picked 70 for all 3 and fullscreen and the colour (a grey one) looks the same to me and I don't notice anything in the middle or anywhere else.
 
Sounds like PVA color shift like the other guy stated. I only notice it if A.) I'm sitting close to the monitor and B.) I really look for it.

It's nowhere near as bad as TN color shifting.

The only monitors that don't display it are ones with S-IPS panels, but they're very expensive.
 
Thanks all for your time to comment.
LG246 based on MVA panel.
i tried to move my head side to side and look from 1 meter, still i can see it.
even if i look straight to the left/right side i see the color clean on the sides but it's very obvious to me the center does not look right...it's not like a dark spot,,it's more like a dimmed scratches from inside in different direction.
I can realize it only in dark shade, like here when I maximized the browser ,the color of “reply part” is “34,34,34”, so in the center the color like I explained above!.
Is this a common things? Or something bad!
 
Hmm, can't be for sure unless I see it with my own eyes. But, as I said, by having my monitor at an arms length, and even going close to like 25-30cm, I still don't see anything like that with the settings you mentioned.
Also, as far as I know the LG doesn't have a PVA panel but P-MVA.
 
It's normal. Some people hate it, others can live with it. If it really starts to bug you, go for a s-ips panel. They don't suffer from this problem.
 
ok, this is cscary.
While I was correct that the LG L245WPM uses PMVA, I just checked the German site and it says the L246WH uses TN panel!!!
 
Blue, you're talking about two different models...the one most people are referring to is the L246WP...The L246WH might have TN, but the WP definitely doesn't.

Click to expand...

Majed is talking about L246W model, so how am I supposed to know which one he/she has? :-p

Besides, I am trying to inform anyone that is looking to buy one to be careful, no harm done IMO.
 
i'm sorry, i should be clear next time,mine is L246WP "P-MVA"
also Majed is a name for male. :cool:

So SuperKeijo has commented as it's a normal thing!
now i'm very confused..

and thanks BlueMak for your effort.

rittia1962, I liked this monitor alot, except this..i need to know is it normal or should i rma it!.
 
If it's something you feel you need to RMA it over, then I'd assume it isn't normal.

I can't say for sure without seeing the monitor. ALL PVA panels have a SLIGHT color shift, but it's very different from TN Panel color shift. With a PVA panel, you may notice that the very center of the screen is darker and the contrast changes as you move to the edge of the screen.

For me, it's only noticeable when I'm looking at grays, like on this forum. BUT it's only noticeable if I look for it and if I sit back from my monitor a bit it isn't noticeable at all.

S-IPS screens do not display this behavior, but a 24" S-IPS screen will set you back almost $1100...
