On my main monitor, a test like that fails spectacularly. If I put a solid purple, then if my eyes are directly perpendicular to the very center of the screen, it works fine. As soon as I move up or down, either the top or bottom of the screen becomes very noticeably blue. But in daily use, I never notice it. If I lean way back in my chair, then yeah, I'll need to adjust my screen to be able to see it. But this is a 144 hz 1440p monitor I got for $400 brand new in 2015. Pixel response times are great. The monitor works exceptionally well on all the Blur busters tests. It is an amazing monitor for gaming... ...except in dark scenes. It's a TN panel, which by default kind of lacks in contrast and brightness, and so to make it look good, I had to tweak contrast, gamma, and brightness settings, and it results in some clipping. #020202 and #010101 look like they get rounded down to #000000, and #050505 and #040404 look like they're getting rounded down to #030303. If I draw a pure black-to-white gradient, then there's noticeable banding. Like colors are only being represented in 7 bits per channel, and the darkest colors lose even more. But again, in daily usage, especially in games (as long as it's not a dark scene) and videos, it's not even noticeable. |
