Samsung G7 27" - is this normal backlight bleed?

Probably does not look this bad in real life - the picture does not do it justice, but just checking.

 

Does not seem like some cases of backlight bleed I seen on Google for example.

Most seem to be around the same - I don't think it's too bad in person - probably no reason to play any sort of lottery.. just looking for some expert inputs!

Sorry - yes, as in this is perfectly OK and I am one of the luckier ones with the G7? Or it's a "bad" one?

Sure. I was just reading a lot of scaremongering posts.. so was just checking.

 

As long as this is not a chronically bad case of a panel, then I am keeping it - which seems to me is not bad at all.

 

I'll probably never notice after my initial test and calibration. SOme people on Reddit had examples of a black screen being almost grey / white just! :D

The G7's overall are bad in terms of backlight bleed. I've certainly seen much worse units (like the one i had before i sent it back, not just because of backlight bleed).

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

That has nothing to do with shipping. Backlight bleed is a problem with any backlit (LCD) monitor. Just some models seem to be better, some are worse. Samsung is just not really up there with some other manufacturers when it comes to quality, which is why the G7 is one of the worse monitors in this regard.

 

Pretty much all electronics you have are manufactured in china anyways.

I don't want a debate on the monitors. The G7 is basically as good as it gets for a gaming monitor at 1440P - next up is OLED TVs that I don't want to have! :D

 

IPS will have IPS glow, similar effect like backlight bleed.

 

All I wanted to know is that is this a normal case or a bad one, but judging by responses and other examples on the web, I seem to be pretty OK.

Yes, IPS has bad contrast ratios / IPS glow, so having lights on helps IPS specifically. The G7 is VA. 

 

I am just glad to see that it's just normal LCD quality, not a defect G7. Dodged a bullet :)
