DGM 27" LED IPS Back Light Bleeding.

Just got the DGM 27" LED IPS monitor. And I've noticed some back light bleeding. Is this normal? does it get replaced if that happens or should i just try to ignore it?

seems to very between screens, just received a replacement for a faulty one and the backlight bleed is much better than the first

Your pic is a bi too ****e to draw anything conclusive from to be honest bud. I'm in the process of returning my dgm for backlight bleed and clouding (and a blob of dirt behind the panel which was even worse obviously).

I had some pics in the dgm thread demonstrating mine and comparing to my other dell. See link below. I think these dgm monitors are very hit and miss.

The DGM monitors are pretty hit and miss, they have a pretty high return rate judging by the threads.

Yeah you get what you pay for is the general consensus.

ive just used tftcentrels icc profile and cant see any backlight bleed at all, might be worth a try as mine came out of the box way to bright my eyes started to burn

ICC profiles don't affect backlight bleed as they can't alter the backlight or black point. But it would be worth trying for other reasons.

hi pcm2, one of the reasons i linked it was thinking the brightness may have an adverse effect on the backlight bleed

Yes it does, but you have to alter the backlight brightness to minimise backlight bleed or improve black level. That isn't something ICC profiles can do. What ICC profiles can do is reduce overall luminance levels when white and non-black shades are displayed. It can basically affect every shade other than black, which is why contrast is reduced after applying an ICC profile (more so if big adjustments are made).
