XL2411Z owners - how's the backlight bleed?

Post by Oofloom » 02 Apr 2014, 21:48

I've been wondering how it compares to the XL2420Z, which had no noticeable bleed whatsoever in pcmonitor.info's review.

Virtually none on my 2720Z.

Keep in mind that backlight bleed is usually caused by warped frames/bezels/mounting errors, etc. Many times, if you've ever disassembled a panel before and are comfortable with the procedure, you can improve bleed by removing the frame, fixing any bends, and remounting.

That's one of my concerns with the XL2411Z compared to the XL2420Z. The 11Z's build quality doesn't look as good as the 20Z's. I move my main monitor around a lot, so that could cause problems if the 11Z flexes too easily.

The top left corner of my XL2411Z is darker. This image of the XL2420Z review resembles it well:

Strange fact: If I try it with red, green, and blue screens, it can only be seen on the green screen. The other ones look uniform.
I'll post pictures later in the day (6-7 hours from now).

Sure. These are four pictures made in the dark. The black level changes a lot depending on the frequency. My firmware is still V1.

120Hz with Lightboost at 10%.
Image

120Hz with motion blur reduction (it looks the same as the previous one :lol: ).
Image

60Hz with MBR (brightness is the same as 120Hz, because of the double strobe).
Image

85Hz with MBR (that black bar in the center is because the camera noticed the flickering. In real life it looks like the 60Hz pic).
