I just got the same monitor a few days ago and while there is some bleeding in spots, it's really only noticeable in extreme situations. It doesn't need to be just dark, but nearly pitch black to notice anything during gameplay, and that would only really be present with any regularity in a horror game like Resident Evil. If it's really bad I'm sure you can send it back, but to me it's not really noticeable enough to be an issue.
