Glow effect or bad viewing angles on an IPS display?

[aearone]

I recently bought a new monitor Asus VG27AQ3A with AHVA IPS AUO M270DAN08.D display. This is my first monitor with IPS, before that I used a 24 inch VA monitor from Samsung. And I do not give rest some "glow" of the screen when changing the viewing angle, the image as if it becomes a little gray. It is especially noticeable if you look at the screen from above. I don't know if this is normal for IPS or not? If you look at the screen directly and slightly at angles, everything is fine, I don't notice such an effect, only on the black image. Also on the photo this effect is greatly exaggerated.

This is common for IPS and IPS is not suitable to use at dark room, open the light then you will notice it is not that bad.

I'm glad to hear that there is nothing wrong with my monitor. At first I thought it was a defect or that I had some kind of flat VA panel (because everyone says IPS has perfect viewing angles and picture). And since no one has ever done a review of this monitor except a couple of Chinese bloggers, I had to spend a lot of time looking for information about what kind of panel is used here:D
As it turned out, it's a brand new panel released this year. 180Hz right out of the box without having to overclock the monitor. I like the colors very much, the image is very colorful and saturated and if it were not for this "glow" effect it would be wonderful. Thank you for reassuring me. 

 

P.S While I was taking photo of the glow effect of this monitor, I found one stuck pixel of blue color, but it is so small that you can see it only close up. I tried using dead pixel recovery software (fast flashing multiple colors), for 1 hour, but it didn't work for me. It's definitely out of warranty, so I'll probably just accept it. Or maybe I should try using a pixel recovery program for 5-8 hours straight? I wonder if these programs are bad for IPS displays? Or is it completely safe?

Are these pictures accurate to real-life or is your camera exaggerating the backlight bleed?

 

I know IPG glow is bad, but I have never owned or seen an IPS monitor that bad. I would consider a replacement. I've owned a few IPS monitors in my lifetime with near-perfect uniformity and very little backlight bleed on a black screen.

In the photo this effect is exaggerated, if you take a video it doesn't look as bad. In real life, if you look at the monitor at a right angle on a completely black image, I almost do not notice this glow, only a little at the upper left side and bottom. But if you change the angle of view and look at the monitor from the side, the glow of the IPS display becomes more obvious. But I think this is a feature of the LED backlighting and not the Glow Effect on the corners of the display.
