Backlight Bleeding PG279Q

Hello, I was wondering if this is acceptable backlight bleed. I have already returned a monitor and don't want to wait another 13 days for a replacement. I'm worried it could end up worse than what I have currently. The top right is the brightest spot and the most noticeable. Bought it "used - very good" condition on amazon. https://imgur.com/9O5P6BL Here is a picture of my screen in a dark room.

Can you upload to imgur or something, that site has a bad certificate.

I can say you aren't likely to get a perfect monitor, all panels of this type will have some bleeding at the edges, more commonly referred to as IPS glow. True backlight bleed is more a uniformity issue. Mine is noticeably orange in the bottom right and noticeably blue in the top left in a dark room. As long as it doesn't have horrible uniformity issues in the center I would stick with it. Once gameplay starts I hardly notice that the bottom right is brighter.

I have updated the link. Yeah, I just notice it in dark areas of games / videos if it was slightly darker I think it wouldn't be so bothersome. It shows white-ish in dark screens, not suffering from any center issues or any noticed improper colors.

Actually quite acceptable compared to mine. I ordered when the monitor was released and basically what looked like was happening is every 'bad' one returned was being boxed up and sent to the other people who had sent theirs in for replacement. People were going through 5 or 6 replacements and getting ones worse then their first one.

ASUS doesn't seem to care as long as it passes their criteria and doesn't have dead pixels.

Thanks for taking time to check, it's frustrating an $800 monitor can look so bad but what can I do lol.
