Vertical light bars on new monitor, is this reasonable? pic included

Alrights guys, not one to be super anal about my monitor but bought this new monitor other day from OC, would you say this is beyond acceptable?. I cant find much about light bleed on TN only IPS when searching but I have these thick vertical light lines on the centre right. Ignore the hue from the windows logo and the yellow light on either side, just looking at the vertical white lines, I won't say what monitor as other than this its a banging monitor and wouldn't want to put people off.

I bought a budget IPS recently with way better uniformity of blacks and barely any light bleed at all. I don't think that's how that should be at all, that white line would drive me to total distraction.

Yea thinking that, just wasn't sure if it was somin to expect from a monitor this cheap but other than that its such a nice screen. Is annoying on dark games, I emailed LG about it and another problem I had but they ignored the part about this.

This is TN panel by the way and only the white vertical lines, rest is crappy photography.

Replacement arranged by OC very quickly. Cheers guys
