IPS Backlight bleed... how bad is too bad?

[Myranda]

I'd already had an ASUS PG279Q which I'm happy with, but wanted a 4K one for watching films/occasional gaming where pixels are more important than frames... so I got the PG27AQ

When I checked the backlight bleed the PG27AQ looked worse than the PG279Q, but it's not so bad that it's noticable when watching a film (watched Crimson Peak and didn't notice and that's got a lot of dark bits...)...

And setting both screens to the sRGB preset colour settings the PG27AQ looks a little yellow-er...

So, given all the problems with RMA/Returns, how much back-light-bleed is too much? how much is fine?

Aaaaand... I get that the panels will be different - so maybe identical settings wont make the same colour... so I don't know if the colour is something I need to adjust manually, or if the difference means I should return it for a replacement...

Incidently - 4k is so beutiful... I get why people were stoked for it when it came out now

Annoyingly there's only a profile for the PG279Q, its 4K cousin seems to get no love

I think he was suggesting it to see if the colour profiles of the two screens could be matched...

It occured to me that it might be an idea to take a picture so...

I'm convinced that this is worse than it looks to the human (or at least mine) eye... this is set at on the sRGB default setting, so there's no brightness adjustment (it's greyed out)
