How is orange on the monitor? I use f.lux which makes the screen more orange at night and wondered how it would look!

Really wouldn't know how to test for that. There are a lot of color calibration options so i can't imagine you would have a problem. This is really a game-changing monitor, its that large and hi-res.

There never is much orange on the displays I see, but when it is displayed, it looks fine to me. As for colors in general, I calibrate the screen with a Spyder 3 before doing color photos and I'm happy with the display and the resulting color print.

I dont care for this 30" Dell. I bot two of them and their colors are not natural. I havethe Dell next to 30" Apple Cinema Displays and the Apple monitors are much better. if i were to buy a monitor now, i would try Apple's 27" since Apple stopped making the 30"

I have a BenQ 1070 and my room has a lot of ambient light. The screen helps during the daytime but really comes to life at night. I am happy with my purchase. If you sit fairly close to the screen you will notice a sparkling effect from the screen due to the finish, but was not a deal breaker for me.

I had the same issue. The problem was caused by color bleeds of Cleartype anti-aliasing of screen fonts, amplified by the monitor's higher saturation. I was able to reduce the issue by fine-tuning the hell out of Cleartype (to minimize blue/orange bleeds) and calibrating the monitor using color calibration device and software.

I have not found any settings yet for that but do not notice it very much or at all now. The screen looks so rich from all angles that I decided the keep the set since its one of best looking screens I have seen at this price range. I almost sent it back as other have noticed them as well, but at the end of the day I kept the set. If someone knows how to fix the issue post it here.

The color is really crisp, just make sure to have latest drivers for your graphics and default any color options in their settings. Then fine-tune from there.

I would argue that the glare is a non issue altogether. I really think people who complain about glare are simply LCD/LED fanboys. My unit is in a sun-drenched room with wrap-around ceiling to floor windows and I've never had an issue with glare. I do need to close the blinds in the day, but that's the tradeoff for a superior picture from a display that doesn't double as a neon flashlight. So in sum, screen brightness can be an issue, but for me that's easily resolved with the blinds. Glare has never been an issue for me. I continue to stand by my initial statement that this is the finest screen I've ever viewed when broken in and calibrated properly.

I finally found it!! It's under Intel Graphics. Go to Intel Graphics Control Panel (should be in your Task Bar/Tray to the bottom right) - pick Graphics Properties - then you will see near the top of the resulting screen two links Display Settings and Color - pick Color - then you will be given a chance to make the colors brighter or dimmer (Brightness, Contrast and Gamma). Think this is what you are looking for.

No it's not but the orange is very bright during the day light. All you can see is the Tritium inserts at night. In moderate light settings it can be a little difficult to see. both the orange or the Tritium. You have this issue with most sights though. Hasn't effected me much though. Usually there's enough light to still see the outline of your sights clearly.

Yes, it is an awesome monitor. I had to turn the brightness down, but this is true with any monitor really. I get eye strain, but this is a personal thing. However, it is an awesome monitor well worth the price. Asus makes great hardware.

No. As the former response suggests, the image should not look like that (or doesn't with mine). Possibly a function of the display/screen you're using? I'll confess the colors don't look perfect with mine, but nothing as extreme as what you are describing. My wife has noted that the image has a bit of a red tint to it.

This monitor is full on glossy. While no issue at night, during the day you may experience issues with glare is you are using this monitor near a light source.

I'm also interested since my monitor will be above eyesight. I wouldn't want the resolution to look darker or wither.

yes, colors do look different to those on my previous laptop, and also on my extension desktop monitor. now i don't even know which version is "correct."

It's an auto adjust feature. Go into Settings / PC and devices / Power and sleep / turn off auto brightness. I had to do the same thing because it was driving me nuts.

Yes, I'm noticing that it happens after it comes back from hibernation for me. Screen opens bright for a second, then goes dim. I suspect something with the power-saving options compromising the screen performance. Still haven't figured it out :(

Unfortunately no answer would really help you. Everyone views different colors/shades on their own monitors.

I don't see it unless there is light shining on it. The light from the screen does not light it up. My office is somewhat dark and the frame looks almost black. I really like this monitor.
