Hi all,

I bought an LG 27UK850-W just over a week ago and it seems to have a bit of a problem in the bottom left hand corner, just looking for some input on what others might think of it. I've had £100 21" IPS monitors that don't look like this which is what makes me question whether I should be accepting it from a £500 purchase.

My iPhone camera makes it look a bit worse than it is, it's actually only the bottom left corner that I see as an issue, and I can only see this when watching video with dark scenes, in any other use case I don't see anything at all. Please see the pics:

im having the exact same problem with mine, what did you end up doing?

I had it replaced, the new one isn’t perfect but it’s better. Oddly sometimes there is no bleed at all and others I can see it in 3 of the 4 corners, not sure if it’s heat making the plastic expand or something.

You can manipulate it by gently pressing on the screen and bezel, it seems to be common with these monitors unfortunately.

I decided to keep my replacement as 90% if the time I don’t see any bleed
