Track Color Distortion Levels
Track Color Distortion Levels
I recently purchased a Viewsonic XG320U. My previous display was a 1080p 144Hz Iilyama. I have glasses and the bezels curve inward. A photo was included showing what I see with my glasses on. The fourth letter from the left is centered on my lens. Shifting left reveals red and blue edges around the letters. This issue hasn’t occurred with other monitors before, and it’s the first time I’ve used a 4K high-quality display. What causes this problem? Could it be related to the IPS technology, pixel arrangement, or something else? Will it affect other premium monitors?
Your glasses are constructed from polycarbonate material and feature a thicker lens. Polycarbonate can lead to this issue, so if it bothers you, consider visiting an optician. They might suggest thinner lenses, alternative coatings, or a new prescription. It could also be connected to how higher resolutions affect window scaling, making the problem more noticeable. Edit: You might find improvement by enabling ClearType in Windows.
I don’t understand the material of the lens well, but I’ll check. They’re quite heavy, which makes sense given their shape—thin in the middle and bulky on the edges. ClearType didn’t affect the result. Today I discovered it’s only IPS panels that exhibit this behavior, as I tested various monitors at a nearby store. I reached out to Viewsonic to ask why IPS does this and whether they could replace it with a VA panel alternative.
