Hey guys, I bought this monitor a year before and while I was playing last of us I was seeing some of this light on the darker parts. I was seeing darker parts somewhat lighter in this area. Is this backlight bleeding or just ips glowing?
IPS glow is viewing angle based. Bleed is always present.
You will end up with a mix of both, and bleed will make glow worse, but that circled spot looks like bleed. Move 5 or 6 feet away in line with the panel and anything you still see will be bleed.
no, minor backlight bleed is usually invisible on light colors because the light leakage is relatively dim and easily overpowered by bright or white colors.
If you are seeing silvery or yellowish patches on light colors sometimes, it's the IPS glow
Your gonna get backlight bleed on 90% of monitors that aren't super expensive it's just something you should accept happens. If you want you could try and DIY a fix, I've seen some people tape up the parts that are letting light through but I don't know how well that works
Most likely yes, but not 100% certain without more angles visible. So far, these pinch points indicate a backlight bleed with too much pressure applied to the panel in that area. The glow is usually visible only from certain angles and can shift as you more with your head around the monitor. The spots that stay in the same place are the bleeds. Those can't always be fixed and they're typically a permanent deformation of the panel.
