Weird bleeding on new U2713HM

Hi all, so I just bought myself a Dell U2713HM, and I have a couple of issues. Firstly - the obvious one - are the areas of backlight bleed you can see in the picture; regular in the top left and bottom right corners, weird yellowy-brown in the others. It's not just my imagination, right? It shouldn't be like this? It's far less noticeable on a screen with something actually on it, but it IS still noticeable to some extent.

Also, I'm finding a bit of tearing when running my PS3 through it, which I don't love.

Thoughts?

not much you can do.

I'd return it for replacement.

Just Don`t buy Dell. Get the Asus PB278Q 27 or Samsung S27B970D 27 that's on offer.

Almost wondering if I would have been better off getting the Asus VG278HE 27" TRUE 144Hz. Lower res, but probably better suited for gaming, and it should sort out the tearing issue...

I just bought a Dell U27HM13 and had to return it due to two dead pixels. The backlight bleed you are seeing in the corners is the norm for those monitors (which is pretty bad) although the bleed on my monitor was not quite as bad as yours.
