Backlight bleeding

I received one of the ocuk value 24" monitor on tuesday however when i got it I was been busy doing work so i never had a chance to play any games or watch movies on my new monitor, yesterday managed to find some time to play some games through my xbox360 and realized what the background bleeding was like, heres a few pics

its kind of strange, slightly below eye level theres no bleeding, but everywhere else theres quite a bit, is this usual? i thought a VA panel had basically the same colours (well black in this case) no matter where you looked at it, the colours don't seem to be too bad though so im doubting that its a tn

Jpg used as wallpaper

how it appears

I haven't had a VA before so not quite sure on this, but i was looking at the other monitors in my house which are TN and the blacks are perfect on them even though theyre worth like half the price, reckon i need to rma?

Rule of thumb: Look at an extreme angle from the bottom up, if the image inverts it's a TN.

i Found the panel number and did a search, its a va (also tried your extreme angle advice thing) so yeh its a va, is this backlight bleeding bad enough to get a rma?

I'd RMA it, not sure if its the photos but it looks pretty bad in the last photo.

I would be more concerned at the colour of the backlight. Red would normally signify the neon tubes are dying.
