PG279Q Acceptable BLB?

[Harry_15]

Can someone confirm is this an acceptable amount of backlight bleed. Some very little bleed across the top of the bezel and in the corners?

I think you should decide for yourself whether that is an acceptable amount of back light bleed, you are the one who has to live with it not me or anyone else on here.

If you really want my opinion, that looks terrible that is not a "little" bleed that is a lot in my opinion. Your replacement will likely look terrible as well, the PG279Q's are plagued with backlight bleed. I own one, which I got quite cheap because of it's terrible backlight bleed, excellent monitor besides this one pretty substantial flaw.

I've seen worse from PG279Q's but that's also not saying much, as said before they are kinda notorious for backlight bleeding. Would be best to play some games/watch shows or movies and find out if you can live with that amount of bleed in dark spots.

I would just like to point out that it looks way worse in the photos

This is a better picture but also looks slightly worse than what it is. Can you or anyone else confirm what they think of this BLB as shown below?

I would say it looks worse than mine, which was advertised as having bad backlight bleed. But yes pictures do tend to exaggerate it.
