A lot of people get confused between IPS glow, which is just a side-effect of the technology that can make off-axis areas appear to have a glow, and real backlight bleed. Plus, most photos of BLB are gross exaggerations of what it looks like in real life--unless it's really bad, you need to have an all-black screen in a pitch black room to even notice. I would argue the use case for that scenario is invalid.
All panels have BLB to varying degrees. I'm not sensitive to it, so it doesn't bother me. That said, my two Asus monitors have less BLB than the Aurias did, but none of the 4 were at all bad. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anthony Q.

I saw some of the dell units on Amazon showing some pretty serious bleed. I know this is something a lot of IPS panels exhibit to some degree. I get the point about dead pixels.
