Frameless IPS glow is what I get after drinking a couple of brewskis. :D I never saw it when I checked the monitor under normal daytime hours or at night when I had some lights on. The fact that I had to sit in total darkness and edge my way to the side to the monitor to see, seems pretty...

Some in the dark photos....with ips glow shots....the red dot in one screen is the red led from my mouse...not a stuck pixel

Yes I can understand that. Glad you got a good deal on the U2412M. Please come back and give us your impressions of the new monitor. Good luck my friend and thank you for your posts!

Hi Zod No scratches, but I saw your post on how you got scratches from a microfiber cloth....that's not good. I clean my lenses and cam filters with a microfiber towel and never had problems...but you may need a bit of fluid or just water to keep from dragging a dry cloth across it.

Fodalv I play mostly FPS games...can't wait for Far Cry 3!! Quickshot from TFT2 & CSG....very bright in the room right now

Namelessme First thing I checked it with....passes with flying colors (no pun intended). No I do not have any hardware calibration equipment. I've been working in the media business for over 20 years, calibrating monitors with and without hardware was part of my job, I work in the television...

On the left...lots of overhead light from skylight, sides of picture are deep black...it's like a black mirror. Same conditions on the right except photo with colors. Mind you, this is with the sun beating down through the skylight over my head and lots of ambient light from living room...

Ok...I checked it out again tonight. And yes in a totally blacked out room with just a black background it is noticeable...if you shift from one side of the monitor to the other...you'll see a glow across the screen. I usually don't sit in total darkness staring at a black screen, otherwise...

The software that came with the monitor lets you set up the monitor on the fly with prearranged boxes where you can drop apps in predetermined places on the screen and the windows will stick in the box...don't know how useful that is...but it's there...and you can just turn it off via software...

livefast The IPS glow is inherent in this monitor as well. How bad is it? I can't see it unless the room is totally dark and I'm shifting side to side in front of a totally black screen. Under normal conditions it's not noticeable. There are no hot spots showing up on the screen, it's...

For those interested the monitor is set and calibrated from the factory at 2.2 gamma, I've checked it...it's spot on. Out of the box I've only had to adjust brightness and contrast...was way too bright...brightness I've set to 50 and contrast adjusted to 67. Brightness out of the box will...

Ok here's an off axis shot to show you how nice the screen is, even at acute viewing angles. The shadow line is a reflection of the wall intersection behind me. I'm using a prime lens to shoot this with a narrow depth of field...so that's why the center is the sharpest...in case you're into...

Hi Oton I don't know why I would need anything higher resolution than 1920x1080(easier to read text without using a larger font)...it's perfect for everything I do...my main priorities are color and gray scale accuracy and great blacks. Lag times in games is important, since I play mostly FPS...

Hope you guys are not sick of me posting pictures:mad: Here's where I'm getting a lot of light in the room...sun isn't overhead yet..where it would create the most reflections obviously.

Fodalv Believe me....when it's daylight out...I'm in the worse possible situation...skylight directly overhead!! Here's a suggestion....if you have a large piece of glass, put black poster board behind it or use a framed picture with glass over it and set it in front of you, under different...
