n-ster · Mar 30, 2012, 09:45 PM

the problems isn't all that common, not that much luck involved

backlight bleed is very common and it varies.

if we all bought the same monitor you could have no backlight bleeding, I could have some in the right corner and Alien could have it in all corners.

sounds like he lucked out to me.

the only backlight bleed i have noticed is a small area in the bottom right corner where the power LED is. Even then its only minutely noticeable on a completely black screen like the ones in the link BB posted.

did Canada Computers have any expensive monitors like IPS or 120hz on display?

AlienIsGOD · Mar 30, 2012, 11:29 PM

not really.... just a cpl Asus and Acer LEDs. Im quite happy with my purchase tho, this monitor is simply the best i have ever owned.
