    Do you ever notice your display's colors shifting over time?

    I noticed that my monitor had a yellow tint for the first time ever today, and then subsequently remembered that I've been very lazy with calibration lately - it's probably been a year since I last attached the i1D2 to it :rolleyes:

    All LCD panels shift colour over time.

    It is the backlighting that shifts color.

    Folks, what I'm interested in knowing is whether or not people subjectively notice that something looks kinda different on the display that they look at every single day. Not the scientific aging-of-the-bulb aspect of it which can be objectively measured.

    Depends how bad, you could plot on the graph of the data of shifting over time the region where people start to notice vs being able to notice side by side too.

    It is visible if you compare two displays. But it shifts so slowly that if it is the only display you ever look at (which is kind of impossible), you will never be able to tell.
