Execution steps

  2. 02Launch the IPS Glow test pattern on a dark background.

  4. 04If bright patches shift location as you change your viewing position, it is IPS glow.

Diagnostic symptoms

  • Glow shifting dynamically with your eye position (typical for IPS technology).
  • Glow remaining fixed regardless of viewing angle (indicates true backlight bleed).

Pro tips

  • Increase your sitting distance from the monitor to reduce the viewing angle to the screen corners.
  • Lower monitor brightness to 120 nits (around 30-40% brightness in dark rooms).

FAQ

Can IPS glow be fixed?

IPS glow is an inherent physical optical property of IPS liquid crystal alignment. You can minimize it by sitting further back, elevating screen height, and lowering brightness.
