IPS Glow or Backlight Bleed?

Im new to IPS monitors is this normal?

Ive lowered the exposure so it looks the same as it dose in person.

on cheaper panels or sometimes in general you might get that.

if it's more of a higher quality screen, it would be good to return it? (or if having dead pixels)

also some screens use edge lit displays, I have no experience with those but think they can cause more light bleed?

That does seem particularly bad, you can always try firmly but carefully pushing the front and back of the monitor together (the actual screen and the case) as that looks like the backlight guide is not making even contact with the LCD.  It certainly wasn't mentioned on rtings. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/aorus-fi27q

 

Also giving it some time to acclimatise might improve it as the whole unit expands and contracts a few times and things fall back into place.

 

Its a fairly pricey monitor, I'd definitely personally expect better than that from a monitor in that price range.  Bleed/clouding at the corners of the screen can't be helped, but a big bright spot like that is not acceptable IMO.  Although its kinda hard to say as sometimes taking photos of this makes it seem worse than it is to the naked eye.

That particular models is known to have poor uniformity.

That's not what I would call a uniformity issue, because they also said it has good grey uniformity whereas a big bright spot like that would mean grey is also poor.

 

I'd say that looks like too little or too much pressure in one spot of the LCD.

its the definition of uniformity. In this case ur looking at Black Uniformity.

Have similar screen blacks on a 27GL850... when playing shooters (i'm at around 40 cm of distance) bottom part is pretty bad. Probably will return it... 

 

It's horrible to buy a monitor

yes, although some tech like filters like QLED and NANO IPS can help. (they will give too much contrast if not calibrated correctly to sRGB)

Or other tech that is not quite out yet to OLED, but that being OLED...

But like I said, they said black uniformity is bad and grey uniformity is good, no way grey is good in the example on this thread which was my point.

Ive sent it back to scan for a refund as i had a few other issues coming up! What should i buy next? :/

I have similar on my Gigabyte G27Q. I had less light bleeding on my old gaming ASUS with TN panel, but it's only really noticeable on all black scenes. Which rarely happen so it's not end of the world. Strangely, mine is only really bad in bottom right corner where it has a yellowish hue and only at certain angles but not in other corners. Considering how people praise IPS displays I'm honestly a bit disappointed. And I had TN panel before and viewing angles were frankly the same damn thing. Brightness shifts even with IPS which in turn changes colors just the same. TN had less ghosting and less bleeding. I know G27Q isn't some super expensive model, but since it's IPS, people have higher expectations when people constantly praise them to no ends. Modern TN's are perfectly fine. If I weren't after 1440p and larger dimension I'd just stick with my 144Hz TN based monitor. It was amazing for gaming. Don't fall into stupid trap of people whining how terrible TN panels are. Coz they are not. I've always said that and now owning IPS just reaffirms that. TN of today is NOTHING like TN was back when LCD displays were just emerging. For primarily gaming anyways.
