Wow, I'm super-impressed that Newegg categorises monitors by panel type That ability is sorely lacking from most retailers and it's something that almost all manufacturers of TN panels try very hard to obfuscate. If it's a budget model there's really no excuse to defend TN, they're barely 20% cheaper than IPS or VA models and they're universally dismal when it comes to image quality. Some people pretend that TN panels are okay, but in reality that's only true for the most expensive gaming TN panels. It's bad by design and you'll just need to tolerate how lousy the image is or flog it cheap and buy a better one Good TN panels are barely acceptable, and you seem to have a bad TN panel, for which there is no cure. The problem is very clearly visible in the short video review here. Yup, sounds 100% like a cheap and nasty TN with viewing angles so bad that the sweet spot is so narrow that it's actually nonexistent. To get the same brightness top to bottom, I actually have to tilt the monitor so that the bottom is away from me, I have an Acer G236HL and it's like you're looking at a night sky with lots of light pollution. Note that 1000:1 is the static ratio for the Dell, while Acer does not even publish the static ratio for theirs. My Dell 24" monitor does not do this, so I'm wondering if indeed it IS related to the huge contrast ratios advertised these days? 100,000,000:1 (really?) for the Acer, vs. If I tilt it so the bottom is out a little bit, which most sites recommend and for me is the most comfortable viewing angle,Ī) The top of the screen is perceptibly dimmer, andī) A gray band where the backlight is too bright appears at the bottom of the screen, 2-3 inches in width.

To get the same brightness top to bottom, I actually have to tilt the monitor so that the bottom is away from me, almost the full 5 degrees the stand allows. It may be related to (lack of) viewing angle.

But I am talking about how gray suffuses the background no matter how much I adjust the brightness or contrast. I use the term "backlight" even though I'm not sure LED monitors even have such a feature - they certainly don't have a control for it like the old LCD panels. It passes all the gradient and gamma tests on the site whose link Chrispy provided, and I've adjusted contrast and brightness all up and down, but everything on the screen is still washed out - the backlight is too bright. Hi, I am doing a bump to this page to see if there are other ideas. If you still can't get all 32 distinct bars visible from step 2, you have just bought an absolute pig of a monitor Return it for a refund and buy one with good reviews rather than a low, low pricetag, which is about all Acer is capable of doing.Normal/low will depend on your graphics card to some extent, but one of the settings with either wash out or crush black level details. If you're struggling with step 2 and you're using an HDMI cable, look for HDMI black level in the OSD.Go to 's contrast test and adjust gamma/contrast on your monitor's OSD until you can see all 32 distinct shades of the bars.Disable dynamic contrast, intellibright, game/movie/auto modes, or any other bullsh*t that messes with the brightness and conrast, they're all worthless on a monitor.It should be comfortable to look at, not retina-searing. Turn your brightness down to the highest you can deal with on a pure white screen.This is the result of marketing twerps advertising 50,000,000:1 contrast levels - the end user suffers by going blind. Sounds like a classic contrast issue to me black crush and dazzling whites.

Thanks for the tips, regardless! I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread for a couple days just to see if anyone else has any bri. Movies is a bit dull, but I guess I can tweak my brightness up a bit to compensate. Eco is way too dull, graphics and standard are too bright. Unless it isn't labled as such? I found some settings like "Eco" "graphics" "movies" and "user" which seem to do something to the general brightness level.

in fact, when googling how to do so for this monitor, THIS THREAD is the third item on the list >_< I can't figure out how to turn down the backlight.

I tried to adjust contrast, but then white turned into gray. By the time the white stopped blinding me, everything else was too dark. So I tried adjusting the gamma (both hardware and software). The Desktop looks OK (it's actually kinda dark), but anything with a white background just makes my retinas explode. Ok, that's an exaggeration and me purposely tricking my camera's light auto-configuration feature, but that's what it FEELS like. Well brightness in general isn't a huge problem, except when it's blinding, like this:
