So I recently bought the 43" of Samsung TU8570 and later learnt about the backlight bleeding issues that users are reporting. Since then, I'm always worried if my TV has this problem as well.

Attaching some photos of my tv playing backlight bleeding test video in a dark room.

Please let me know if this much bleeding is acceptable or should I contact support

Cameras make the look of backlight bleed much worse than it is and what i see is actually pretty good. Long as it's not intruding in normal watching and some dark scenes I wouldn't worry about it. Led TVs have a backlight and some bleeding is normal.
