Is this acceptable backlight bleed?

[bdk74]

Got a new monitor Gigabyte G34WQC (va panel). Picture below shows from the direct pov. Let me know if should I worried or this is standard/normal. My other IPS looked similar i think.

 

Thanks in advance.

Looks like shit, that's for sure.
But typically, scenes where it would really be visible are few and far between, so it doesn't really matter.

brightness at 65%. Does the bleed gets worse? is this something that warranty covers down the line or things like dead pixels only?! Would that be normal for the va panel?

"Backlight bleed" is not a defect. It's literally designed that way, they can't do anything about it. You have got a row of LED at the top and one at the bottom, with a light diffuser dispersing light around the whole panel. But obviously the area where the strip/tube of LED is, is the brightest, hence the "bleed".

It's normal for any monitor that doesn't use a full panel local dimming array.

First and foremost, cameras, especially phone cameras, default setting isnt best for taking pictures of monitors. Lower the ISO until the resulting picture looks like what u see with ur naked eye. Then post it.

 

Now as for the display. Curved ultrawides tend to suffer more from BLB than traditional 16:9 flat panels, so ull have to expect some amount. However there is some amount of panel lottery involved, so regardless of the results of the new pic u take, u can if u feel the need, just send back the monitor and ask for another one and hope that one is better.

Alternatively, choose a completely different monitor thats been reviewed to have better uniformity.

That being said, the Gigabyte G32WQC, isnt a 'bad' model in that regard, its been reviewed.

Below is the rtings uniformity result picture. Scores 6.5. Of the 119 reviewed monitors, only 19 monitors score better up to 7.3, plus an OLED scoring a perfect 10.

Also, BLB IS a defect. it is NOT designed that way.

is IS designed to have a backlight, but in an ideal world where every panel is held to the highest QA, u would have no BLB.

The problem is, QA isnt held to high standard in regards to BLB, so most LCD displays, be them monitors, TV, or mobile devices, have some amount present. Even backlit panels, inc those with FALD, can suffer from it, though edge lit displays do have it worse.

I'd say that pritty much what u can expect from that model.

 

If uu finding this much BLB still to aggravating then you can try small DIY trick to help reduce it if u want. Though it may not work on curved displays due to the how the display is put together.

Tightening or loosening the screws holding together the Monitor in the area your seeing the bleed in some displays can reduce BLB.

I have seen worse, I would call that acceptable for an LCD display, even though my my displays are much older.
