IPS glow: Changes with viewing angle and distance Primarily affects the corners of the display Present to some degree in all IPS panels Specific to IPS and similar technologies Light leakage: Remains constant regardless of viewing angle and distance Can occur anywhere along the edges or corners Not inherent to any panel type; a manufacturing issue Can occur in any LCD panel type
To reduce IPS glow, perform the following setup and steps: Initial Setup Place the monitor in its intended location at eye level. The minimum viewing distance is generally around an arm’s length. Connect all necessary cables and then turn on the monitor. Allow the monitor to warm up for about 30 minutes before making any adjustments. The ambient lighting should be slightly lit rather than being dark. Adjusting Monitor Settings Adjust the monitor's brightness to around 30% to 50% of its maximum brightness. Adjust the contrast setting to maintain image clarity without oversaturating bright areas. If available, set the color temperature to a warm setting (around 6500 K) to help reduce the harshness of the glow.
