backlight bleed/ IPS glow

[Wild Walker]

I just bought a new monitor and when I play a game with a lot of dark scenes in it I see a bright spot at the top left of my screen and it irritates me when I see it.
Is there a way to do something about this or do i need a replacement?

 

the monitor is the iiyama g2470hsu-b1

It's normal to get some glow but this seems to be particularly bad, especially the brighter patch middle right. I'd request a replacment, there isn't much you can do and if that also has the same issue, you want to look at a different model.

some discolouration is also normal, but I wouldn't say having it to this extent is acceptable. For the price, it isn't exactly bargain bin either, would expect more from this personally.

I sent the monitor back, but now I don't know if I will buy the same type again or one of a different brand.

 

If I look for around the same price I end up with these monitors:

LG Ultragear 24GN600-B
Acer Nitro XV240Y
ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q1R

I'd personally go with the LG but I'm biased, having an LG monitor. Just saying this because I've never had a problem with it, having said that, you could get a bad unit from any manufacturer. One potential down side is it only supports 8bit colour via dithering, having said that, perhaps this is true for the others, I don't have time to check all of them out. If you're only gaming on it, it might not make a difference to you.

 

It's not something I replace often and when I do, that's the point when I put in all the research so whatever I learn is out of date really fast. Anyway, I'd just say look into the reviews of the three you're looking at and see which comes out on top on average. 

 

I wouldn't get the same one again. Perhaps it would be fine, on the flip side, you could end up wasting your time.
