Giant purple spot.

Post by kaemon » 15 Jun 2014, 10:24

Hi, i have had my monitor for a while now. Today when i looked down at my monitor from a unusual angle. I noticed that i have a giant purple spot. Since then i have also noticed more spots with inaccurate colors from the same angle. It´s not a issue for me right now when i am viewing the monitor from the correct angle. I believe that it may become a issue in the future, what is this and what can i do about it?

Change the wallpaper and see what happens.

It is the normal solarization/reverse color effect on certain shades of color when viewing certain LCDs at a steep angle from below or above. It should not have changed since you bought your monitor if you have never touched picture settings. A picture adjustment that make it optimal/contrasty for level viewing, can make this effect appear and disappear.
