IPS glow? Backlight bleed?

[Reeder93]

Hey guys, joined this forum because I got no help from the hp forum. I just really need an answer so that if my display is faulty I can take it back while I still can. About 3 days ago I bought a new hp laptop from Walmart. The hp 15 as014wm model. I love this thing. Best laptop I've had. But this is the first laptop that I've owned that has a hd IPS touch screen. When I finally had some time to sit down and mess with it i changed my wallpaper which is black and I noticed that at the top right and left corners that it was completely black. After doing some research since I'm not too tech savvy, I kept reading about IPS glow which is common in these types of displays and then I read about backlight bleed. So which do you think I have? I paid a lot of this computer so I wanna make sure everything is ok and normal. I have 15 days to exchange it at Walmart if I need to. But I wanted to check with people who know more about this stuff than I do to see if I should keep it or exchange it for another. I just wanna make sure the display is okay.

Here's a video I made of it, if I need to make a better one I can. But hopefully you guys can help me by looking at this.

Looks about normal for bleed, you could try calibrating your colors/brightness etc as most monitors nowadays seem to need a tweak or 2 from original.

So it is bleed and not glow then? Should I keep it or exchange it for another and hope I don't get any bleed?

Exchange as that is quite a lot of bleed honestly.

I'd say that's up to you, but consider that that monitor has the same leds in exactly the same place on any other monitor in that model, so chances are good that the next one will look pretty much the same. If you have a spare minute, play with the settings and turn the brightness down or raise saturation etc, you might be able to minimize the affects. If you still aren't happy after all that fiddling, take it back, or you'll never really enjoy the laptops use since you already think it's defective.

Backlightbleed is common to edge leds and doesn't change upon viewing angle or distance.
IpsGlow is where the color changes at certain angles and/or if you get too close to the monitor. This does change with viewing angle or distance.

So, if the light spots fade if you get further away, and look at the monitor straight, that's glow. If they are always there no matter what, that's bleed. The only way around bleed is to have full Backlight, not edge-lit.
