New monitor needs to be broken in?

[iiBetrayforAR]

I bought another Asus VS248H-P, receiving it yesterday. I already have a VG248QE and one other VS248H-P, when I plugged it in to test it I noticed the screen had a sort of yellow tint to it, very noticeable on the whites, they did not pop as much as my other monitors due to the odd tint

Could this be because the monitor needs to be broken in through use or should I RMA it now haha?

Sounds like back light bleeding. I don't think any amount of "breaking in" will remedy the back light bleeding. You're gonna have to RMA I think, unless someone else has a potential solution.

I have two identical LG IPS monitor that I bought about a month and a half apart and I've noticed the same thing. I thought it might have had something to do with them being two different revisions as they were from two different e-tailers and the firmware seems a little different (different default settings).

I'd be interested to see if they do need "burning/breaking" in

Hmm, it's really not too bad. I din't think it is worth the effort it takes to RMA. XD

You might look at your settings on the monitor and also your video card settings.

This. First two things i would do in OPs case.

I really don't think there is a breaking in period for displays. Think about it! what is there to break in? Unlike with speakers etc. you have no moving parts.
I don't think LEDs break in, or the single pixels.
With monitors it's out of the box what you see is what you get. Except for the settings.

I have heard of 'yellowing' on new screens that just requires them to warm up a bit usually. Is it the white-balance/temperature setting of the screen ?

I know some phone screens (iPhones) did this when they were new but a few days/weeks of use and it became either less prevalent or you just don't notice it anymore.

Personally I'd run a full screen and graphics card colour calibration and see what it looks like afterwards.

The setting in the GPU, monitor, Windows. Basically everything have been tweaked with. I hope there is a warm up period like SuB said, but Im not going to RMA it anyway so, thanks guys.

The other guys may be right, but I've had monitor symptoms like this in the past and extended use didn't help. Then again, my Galaxy S2 had a yellowish tint when I first purchased it and it eventually disappeared over time.
