BLB \ IPS Glow - Acceptable or RMA? (Pics)

[rex4748]

I got an Asus PG279Q from Amazon yesterday. The color uniformity is good and there are no dead/stuck pixels, though I'm not sure about the level of BLB/IPS glow. Most of it looks like glow, because it disappears if I look directly at the affected areas. I know all IPS monitors suffer from some level of this, but I have no idea what is considered normal so I don't know whether it's a good idea to RMA it or get used to it.

As per usual, the pictures are not a great representation of what it really looks like, but you get the idea. The second one is about as close as I could get it. Thoughts?

Pictures always seem to make worse than actual. Seems about average though in second pic. If it disappears at different angles, it's IPS Glow. If not, it's a bit of BLB. Regarding RMA, that's for you to decide, really. If it's not really noticeable outside of black backgrounds or in games, I really wouldn't worry about it.

I'm on my 4th IPS monitor from upgrades over the years, and all have varying levels of IPS glow. None were bad enough for me to RMA, just didn't notice after awhile.
