Light Bleed in 2 New Monitors - Return one or both?

[SirSavage]

Okay so I'm in a bit of a crappy situation... I bought a new IPS monitor from NewEgg:

The reviews all say how great it is and now minimal the light bleed is, which is why I'm a bit surprised with how bad it was with the first monitor I received. I contacted NewEgg, and they issued me an advanced RMA (sent out a new monitor before I return the old one). So luckily since they did that, I now have both monitors side by side to compare, and to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed in both. Here's the pics:

Am I wrong in thinking that this is excessive light bleed for such a well reviewed monitor? I don't know how many returns NewEgg will let me do, or if I just have to accept one of these and learn to be happy with it.

Any suggestions?

Well it surely is looking bad, Try contacting them and show them the comparison pics and ask them if you could exchange it once more and send over the pics for them to get the correct idea and if they refuse, Well I guess you will have to live with it.

Okay I contacted newegg and they are going to issue me a refund and I think I'm going to try a different monitor. I have a few options still in my price range. These are the one's I'm currently looking at:

I think I'm leaning towards the ASUS VS24AH-P because it is 1920x1200 and seems to have good reviews. But I'm definitely open to suggestion if anyone has any other options. I'm pretty set on IPS because I edit pictures and have multiple people watching the screen so viewing angle is really important.

EDIT: Okay, couple more options:

Only concern with the Dell would be the anti-glare coating causing that "haze" effect.

As for the more expensive ASUS monitor, not sure if it is worth the extra $$ or not.

I think I'm going to pull the trigger and buy the ASUS VS24AH-P for $209 unless anyone has any last minute recommendations?

How did you get an advanced RMA? do you contact them in order to get one?
