Received my U2415 yesterday. AG coating is excellent. Facing the monitor is two big sliding door with the sun shining in. You can barely see any reflection. The only cons is IPS glow is pretty bad on this model. But it doesn't bother me because I use it for work purpose and not multimedia.

Damn... Bought a new LCD (IPS) HP 23CW and this shit happens...
Sent it back for replacement, or IPS problem like this is common? This is really sucks...

Turn off all the lights in dark room take a picture again. I cannot tell if that is blacklight bleed or IPS glow. IPS does have some glowing issue. But if that is backlight bleed it is unacceptable.

hmm.gif  Now I tried complete darkness, problem is my phone's crappy cam just can't deal with the task, though it still pickup the blue glow at the lower left corner.
But these color glow are still visible, just not as bad as previously - not sure if the monitor need some times to "warm up" or just some of the calibration I did fixed it a bit.

These "glows" aren't static though, if look from the left, the screen is on warm tone, and if I look from the right, it is on the cold tone...
On normal use of course I sit at the middle... and half of the screen is slightly cold and the other half slightly warm... the heck is wrong?  doh.gif
Seriously first time using IPS panel, I do not expect such kind of visual problem...

Of course I don't really need a complete black screen to even see those glows, just view a website with dark background, or playing my favourite games like Path of Exile...

Haha. That is the IPS glow. Some IPS panel has minimal and some has more. I know it is annoying when you are displaying black. There's pretty much nothing you can do about it. In my humble opinion you should get DELL IPS instead of HP. At least the glow on DELL is not as bad.
