Compensate the uniformity issue on BenQ monitor?

[sunny5]

The brightness difference between top and mid is quite different in white background. Not a big deal but I wonder if there's a way to compensate the uniformity or brightness difference? I'm using BenQ SW271 btw.

Have you measured the uniformity with a colorimeter? Or are you just going by eye? I’d measure it with a device if you have one as we can’t really trust our eyes.
If it’s outside of tolerance (an average of less than 2 delta is what it should be) and it’s still in warranty, then they may fix/replace it.
I have an SW271 and an SW271c and both are within tolerance.

I can see it with my eyes and i1profiler can confirm it.

So how old is it? Still in warranty?

5 years old. Just wanted to know if there is a way to compensate the uniformity in terms of brightness or not.

Unfortunately not. No monitor that I know off to be honest.
But thinking about it the SW271 didn’t come with uniformity. That was one of the upgrades on the SW271c.

I just bought it for $300 along with ergotron monitor arm and i1 calibration tool.
