AOC CU34G2XP/BK - 34 VA CURVED here is official specs for this monitor: https://aoc.com/uk/gaming/products/monitors/cu34g2xp-bk/specification i bought this ultrawide monitor few days ago and tbh it destroyed me much more than anything before. biggest problem with my eyes i have when i move my head and perspective even few centimeters and it have different image and it kills my eyes so much. sometimes i have feeling like im looking at shining crystal or something like reflective stripes, weird feeling ironically i had no problems with this screen when i was looking from huge angle like 70 degrees at screen and screen was illuminated regurarly not when i look from center and in center its darker at edges its brighter and when i move i feel huge eye pain like someone is cutting my eyes with saw i saw article which tells a little bit about problem i have so i probably think its gamma shift problem? https://www.arzopa.com/blogs/guide/what-is-va-glow-gamma-shift-and-black-crush question is, is it fixable or should i return it because no matter what i will no fix it and its not fixable? here is video i took with this panel with camera from phone: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RKDGGC31iHyFMFCdsLofzbZCGWnwNErR/view?usp=sharing you can download for better quality because player shows only 360p as you can see at the end camera shows vertical black stripes, does it mean its flickering? i was using there 100% brightness at monitor so its weird and also when i move camera closer to screen it have something like black ring and when i move camera on screen this ring also moves. maybe thats what kills my eyes? let me know and tell everything because i need so much help to understand this panel, thanks any idea how to fix it? or maybe i have astigmatism that i dont know about? but last time when i was at optometric they said i have 0.5 and 0.5 is not necessary to wear glasses and a lot people have. i also have miopia -3 at both eyes no idea what to do guys i need your knowledge so much

> @"technicalitch"#p42196 im looking at shining crystal Bad pixel inversion / A-FRC. Perhabs become more visible at curved screens Better option - to try monitors with moneyback

> @"simplex"#p42197 Better option - to try monitors with moneyback what do you mean? what is that

another thing i noticed is that monitor when i move cursor it turns from white to yellow and all other white things on black turns into yellow on this test especially: https://www.testufo.com/color-ghosting

> @"technicalitch"#p42196 question is, is it fixable or should i return it because no matter what i will no fix it and its not fixable? doesn't seem fixable at all, definitely return it

@"DisplaysShouldNotBeTVs"#p42202 i like your nick haha. today i feel when looking at this screen like someone put laser wave into my eye, sick as hell

finding sweetspot at monitor helped a little bit but its like 35% but for me its success because i know where i should go (you need to find your own path what makes you feeling weird and need analyse symptoms and facts a little bit even if its very painful like its for me). i lowered contrast a little bit and brightness with f.lux (because no pwm dimming here thats why i always use flux to lower brigthness by pressing alt + page down and i kill in flux a little bit of blue light, now 4450k setting) and a little bit its better. you need to understand contrast and saturation on these monitors, i mean your brain. because these new ips and va monitors have so big contrast and saturated colors THAT IS SOMETIMES SHINING TO MY EYE but also have IPS glow that makes your brain sick because you focus your eyes on black and suddenly you have this ips glow that dont help to understand your eye and brain whats going on. dont know how to desribe this. va is worse than ips for me because angle of looking is changing gamma and contrast so much. on left side of screen black is "shining" its very hard to find sweet spot and much harder than ips imho. its very weird i hope someone will understand and it will help him a little bit. maybe in past when you looked and super amoled screens from samsung your eye is adapted to something different and ips like fake amoled and your brain and eye cant adapt. maybe im wrong now maybe not, just telling because it can be hint in your long path to discover what cause for you eyepain. \+ im drunk now and maybe it relax my eye a little bit (im saying that because i saw some people were telling that relaxation of eye helped them) cheers but ips > va

but for ultrawide va your eye can be shocked like mine. on left side black is shining, on center not, on another side its more different than on left. fck va, ips is much better but still killing eye with these new ksf phosfors etc

but ips/va glow is bigger enemy than i was thinking

and another fact why i buy ultrawide if my pupil cant get visualisation of all screen without eyestrain? dont know how to describe it english but sometimes you have this visual effect of ultrawide and your pupils set another position and it makes you pain

> @"technicalitch"#p42212 cheers but ips > va i agree that this specific supplier/manufacturer of the VA panel in the monitor you tried really sucks. sounds like a terrible experience. but, technically not all VA is the same. i have a really old VA TV from 2004 (Sharp LC-G5C26U) that i actually prefer to all IPS screens that i've ever tried. it's one of my main screens i use today because of how comfortable it is. so i don't necessarily think the concept of VA itself is the source of the problem here, but rather a lot of other things wrong with this monitor, or something wrong with the panel's specific implementation of VA because it sounds VERY different compared to how the VA panel in my old Sharp TV feels. (but yeah there's definitely many differences between a 2004 VA TV and a new VA monitor lol)

in this thread dude have same problem like me, after looking at ultrawide curved va when i looked to normal flat monitor i also saw normal monitor like round shape xD

technicalitch

i messaged aoc support about my problem can you believe told me im first person that report eyestrain problems? lol

1st message was lower contrast and brightness and go to doctor. it doesnt help

technicalitch

today i tried to manage my eyes and brain to have no problem looking at this va panel and guess what?
my right pupil is bigger and left smaller and IN THIS WEIRD CONDITION i can stand this screen for some short amount of time, isnt that sick? and why its like that? weird so much
