Backlight bleed acceptable?

Hello everyone

I just bought an LG 34UC98-W and of course there is backlight bleeding.

Do you think this is acceptable? (brightness on 80%)

What are the chances of getting a new monitor with worst effect?

Thank you

that honestly doesn't look that bad to me. ips glow is natural and expected and the blb doesn't overwelm that glow either. are you going to be watching lots of dark scene movies on it? if it is just for general gaming and computing you will likely hardly ever notice it. my acer x34(refrub/resold likely because of blb) has worse blb than yours does and it doesn't really bother me at the end of the day.

I also have a dead pixel and discovered a minor shadowing on the top of the monitor. I am really thinking of returning the item but I am really afraid I might get a new one with worst problems.

Do you believe it is worth the risk?

Thank you

yeah that is a pickle for sure. a single dead pixel may not qualify for a warranty rma but if you are in return period then you obviously can return it. if there is a dead pixel i would return it and take my chances.
