Hi.
Well its my first post over here,but because im not here to write a book,id like to keep story short and simple.
Like a lot of us here,im also planning to get a new (at least somewhat decent lol) monitor ,so i did some homework and came to conclusion that ips technology is the way to go.
But more deeper i went into details,more i started notice complaints about some kind of a glow thing (not to be confused with backlight bleed)
So i became curious and went further with my search and found out that ips, in fact is not that perfect at all.
Apparently this white or tinted glow ,what manufactures call a "feature" seems to be a universal ips problem,my question is,how big this problem really is?
Things I've learned so far:
1. Without pretty much no exception,all ips based panels suffer from this glow.
2.But it can be fixed with a thing called A-TW polarizer.
3.Problem is that there's only a handful of models out there what has this polarizer.
4.And these models are ridiculously expensive.
5. + Most manufacturers have stopped producing these kind of panels,which means,that its next to impossible to find one,not to mention,find one with reasonable price.
So proceeding from that point, there's mainly 2 models what have sparked interest in me,beloved/hated zr24w and u2410
....and yes i have read threads from top to bottom and seen the pictures of this problem.
But thing is,its still hard for me to make a final conclusion, you cant fully trust pictures because cameras due to wrong shutterspeed and iso settings tend to either mask or exaggerate the effect and the opinions about this issue aren't that much of a different.
Some say they wont notice the glow at all,some say that its noticeable only when you view screen from extreme angles,some say,its visible at straight on,and some say,that its visible straight on even at daylight .... so whats going on really?
Basically to simplify the point of this thread, i have few major questions.
1.How bad this glow thingy generally is,how does it affect the contrast ratio - shadow detail,and how annoying it is during (amateur) photoshopping, movies and games?
2.How`s the zr24w glow compares to u2410 ,which one is bad and which one is catastrophe?
3,Is there a 23-24 incher alternatives around 500 euro price tag? i.e. pva
4.And what`s better/worse,ips with a glow or pva with black crush? (and yes i know the severity of these issues vary from model to model,but whats the general situation in this ~ 500 euro segment?)
note:sorry if there's any typos and gibberish in the text,im a bit drunk and engrish is not my native language
