IPS backlight bleed too much?

[Guest]

I have recently bought a new IPS monitor (Iiyama x2380HS) and am getting a lot of backlight bleed in the bottom left corner. I have never had a backlight problem (or an IPS monitor for that matter) before and need some opinions as to whether it is significant enough for an RMA.Should I just put up with it? Here is the photo:

You bought a second rate monitor, but that bleed is pretty bad.
You can try RMA it, if it were LG or Asus or similar they would RMA it.

Why second rate? I thought it had pretty good/average reviews. I actually ordered the IIyama 2377 but they sent this one which I thought was a relative upgrade. I have noticed a lot of screen tear in some games but sorted it with adaptive vsync. The response time seemed ok on paper at 5ms. I must admit its not going to win any awards for looks/finish and the menu buttons and inputs are very awkward to access. Otherwise i thought the panel itself was supposed to be pretty good (obviously notwithstanding the bleed issue). I couldn't really find any decisive reviews and went with it on the specifications.

While the components are all individually most likely units gotten from LG and Samsung and the like, the build quality is shoddy, and build quality is where bleeding becomes a problem.

I have a Samsung 24 inch ips. When I first got it I had the same issue. It's all about fine tuning the settings.

Doesn't look like bleed, looks more like glow. Does it get better/worse when you move your head? If yes, then all monitors are like that.

I was torn between this and the Asus VS239HV which was only another £10. Is Iiyama a notoriously shoddy firm?

I was wondering about the settings. The brightness is on 100% default. The system I bought it with is being RMAed due to a boot fault so I thought I'd get some opinions on the backlight bleed and maybe send it all back. The photos do emphasise it a bit much.
