IS this backlight bleed or ips glow? and is it bad? im getting lied to?

Dear All,

So i bought this gigabyte aero 15 but when watching a film and on a black screen i noticed along the bottom and the bottom two corners there was ips glow? (i say ips glow because the place i bought it from said send pics i did he replied saying the majority of lcd emit this and this is typical ips glow which is not a defect i said it is not back light bleed he went no and said if we exchange you might most likely get same one)

so i ask you guys is it

back light bleed or ips glow?
shall i keep it or risk getting another worse one who knows
or shall i just return

thanks guys he is the pictures looks bit exaggerated in pics i guess:

It's not bad, not the best I've seen - but those are rare, and it's hard to tell given your lighting just how bad it is in the dark - where you will notice it most with widescreen movies.

You can adjust the brightness down to make a big difference, and given Nvidia controls adjust the contrast too. You may not be able to make it go away completely, but you can reduce it to a low enough level you will get used to it over time and it won't be noticeable.

I have had good luck with IPS screens, external and displays, MSI did a good job with the GT80 - hardly anyone complains about any bleed from attachment points - MSI has the fixture holding assembly for the display done really well.

Dell external monitors are usually very good too, no excess halo points, maybe a bit of overall "light", but nothing like we see in laptops due to edge pinching.

It's not optimal, but it's not unusual, and if the design attachment points are doing this in all units, then you can't avoid it.

Try doing the brightness / contrast tuning and see if you can make it acceptable to you, reduce them to the point of accurate display and then live with it for a couple of weeks and see if you "forget" about seeing it - that's what I do and rarely have I had to return a display - so far never needed to return a laptop.

Asus also has done this well in their laptops, with some notable exceptions that they finally fixed in production.

Please let us know how it works out

 

maybe ium overreacting like in real life it does ,look better but maybe with the price i was just expecting it to be spotless

soo the thing is i am within return period so i can exhcange and get a new one but what if i get a worse off one!

 

Yeah, you can get a worse one, I've heard of people swapping many times never to get one as good as the first one, so it's something to consider.

Plus, if everything else is great, don't forget that a new laptop with a better display might have functional issues your current unit doesn't.

I've seen people give up the "golden CPU" that OC's way further than the norm with undervolt at top OC, only to get a dud CPU in the new unit.

It really doesn't look bad, I've seen much worse. Again, these displays are overbright as shipped, so try reducing the brightness - get a calibration DVD / file and tune brightness / contrast for optimal viewing, which is usually much dimmer than the shipping max brightness.

Wait and see how you acclimate to it after tuning it
