Hi guys,
got a second AW3821 some days ago, after already having one in January which i returned because of horrible white uniformity with no replacement available back then.
The unit i got now has way better white uniformity, which i‘m happy with and no dead or stuck pixels, which is good.
However i‘m a little bit unsure about the backlight bleed, since i have just a litte bit in the corners on the right side, which is ok, but a litte bit more, brighter bleed in the bottom left corner. I‘ve tried to capture it with my iPhone to make it look like i see it in a completely dark room:

It results in a just a litte bit more and brighter glow than on the right side in regular viewing and gaming distance.
I‘ve read here that some people have „zero“ bleed (which i would like to see to be honest
), but since I’m almost never lucky when playing the lottery i know i won’t get one without bleed, and even if this would happen, the monitor probably would then have other flaws like stuck pixels or poor uniformity.
Still i‘m not really sure what to do, i really love the monitor performance wise, having a blast gaming on it.
On the other hand, i wish it would have just a little less bleed in the one corner, but don’t know if exchanging it again will get me a noticeable improvement, or more of a risk of getting a worse unit.
I need to make a decision in within the next few days since my return period ends, maybe some of you would share their thoughts.
