Backlight bleed - Asus PG279Q IPS - is it too much?

[MrdcThMrlc]

Hello!
I have bought this monitor roughly 7 days ago and have been scratching my head over the blb. I know this is a common issue and it's pretty much impossible to get one without bleed. My question is: is this worst than normal? It kind of anoys me but I've searched for it right away so I dont know if I'm just being picky. Is the change of getting a better one actually good? I'm afraid that I will just end up with a worse one.
As reference I put both a black screen and a video of some game to see in practical context.

All dark / black screens, so blb* is bound to be more obvious. Suggest you compare your monitor settings to online calibration profiles, such as this - http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm#the_database

We want to make a point at this stage relating to IPS glow. The above image shows the corners of the screen as observed from a central viewing position, at a normal viewing distance of a couple of feet from the screen. As you look towards the corners of the screen you can see a glow and pale areas on the dark content. This is not backlight bleed! We see many reports of users who mistake IPS glow which is a panel characteristic, for backlight bleed which is a build quality issue. This glow in the corners is caused by your angle of vision when viewing the screen and is because of the pixel structure on the IPS panel. If you view the screen from even wider angles (like the image shown above it) the glow becomes more white and pale. This IPS glow is a "feature" of nearly every IPS-type panel on the market, so as a buyer you should be expecting it. It's not grounds for a return of the screen as a fault when it is just a feature of the panel technology. The bigger the screen, and the wider the field of view, the more obvious this glowing from the corners will be. On a 34" ultra-wide screen for instance there are very wide fields of view and so you will notice it when sat up close to the screen and viewing dark content. It's not as pronounced on a 16:9 format 27" screen like this but may still be problematic to some people, especially if you use the screen in a darkened room or are viewing a lot of dark content. If you move your viewing position back a bit, it will be reduced.

I have already calibrated my monitor to something similar like that. The panel was at 26 brightness in the photos you see here. I went to the store today to pickup something and talked about this issue and showed the photos and the guy said I can return it. I'm just kinda afraid that I will end up going thru 10 or more monitors all will the same or worse bleed.
