N/m.... new topic since alot has changed.

I know some backlight bleeding is acceptable, i just dont know if mine falls in the "too much" category... Think its worth sending it back and possibly getting one thats worse?

Short Exposure

Medium Exposure

Long Exposure w/ the lights off

EDIT: its goin back. A cluster of dead/stuck pixels just cropped on near the center...

Any idea what fvking # i call? Im sick of getting transferred...

How long is that exposure? LCD's in general have poor back levels.

 

[ironcrotch]

looks normal to me

 

[dug777]

hard to tell without something to compare it to..

wow, looking at that last pic that is pretty piss poor

 

Holy crap, mine should be here next week, and if it looks like that, its gonna go right back.

Well the longer the exposure, the brighter it looks.... It dosent look nearly that bright in person.

I think its normal. The black level will look worse with the lights off. LCD's are best in a bright environment. If you are sensitive to this issue, LCD that use a PVA panel have the best black levels although they still can't match CRT's.

What is backlight bleeding?

Looks just fine to me.

Your long exposure pics are meaningless, I could do the same with my CRT (which has a contrast ratio probably 10-20x what your LCD does) & get a nice gray image.

No LCD display (at least at consumer price points) is uniformly bright, all have warm/cool spots.

Yours appears to be well within reason.

Not meaningless, i wanted to take a long exposure to test how even the backlight bleeding was, not for how bright it was.

I would take several, from different angles.

hard to tell. Can you take a picture with a movie playing in the background? I think you still get thin black stripes even though your screen is 16:9 - i could be wrong tho.

That or could you take pic of a black background with 1080x768 wallpaper (so there is black surrounding it).

Triple monitor setup?

 

[aphex]

Here is my best approximation of how bright the bleeds are in the dark... Picture of a movie and from different angles coming up...

Looks good to me! I've owned 4 LCDs in my time, 2 from different manufactuers that all had similar 'problems' like you have. I agree with Viper and say it's well within normal limits and if you are going to send the LCD back, do not expect to get one any better. Get a CRT instead.

:thumbsup:

Ok, some pix of a dvd playing...

none. But that's probably not going to stop you from sending it back anyways.

What did you honestly expect from the cheapest 20" widescreen out there?

There's a reason the 20" Cinema display costs what it does.

Actually, from what i hear, the 20" cinema has its own issues as well...
