Back light bleed. How much is too much?

[NvidiaDan]

Hi guys,

Received my new monitor yesterday and I have noticed what I believe to be backlight bleed.

Not the best picture but would this be classed as faulty? Or is it just to be expected on a TN panel?

Thanks

Depends on at what point it bothers you - I've some BLB on my monitor, but it only becomes apparent if a movie goes to a black screen or the same in a game, it's not enough to bother me but the same screen might drive someone else crazy

Pretty much comes down to you own pinion - are you noticing yourself being distracted by it more often than not?

Looks quite significant from that photo, but as Doco states, the important thing is what it looks like when you are using it.

Save this image and view it fullscreen - do you notice bleed in the top left?

If it bothers you enough that you are asking the question "is this too much" then I would suggest that the answer is "yes"

To be honest that's just a terrible photo (no offence ) so people on here can't really objectively comment or advise based on that.

The whole screen appears to be one big backlight bleed! It's no doubt at a ridiculous high ISO and really slow shutter speed, which in a very/ totally dark room makes any monitor look terrible.

As others say though, it depends how much it bothers you. I personally am an image snob/ quite ocd about such things, so 1 tiny stuck pixel, or any backlight bleed is too much for me.

Seriously, that photo makes no sense. Take a shot with a real camera (not a smartphone or a frame from a videocamera), shoot it perpendicularly to the center of the screen and balance it in a way that the most part of the screen is black

So, visual correction applied, monitor looks perfect to me
