I bought an MSI gaming monitor a couple of months ago from Madiaworld, in the shop. The monitor has a backlight bleeding issue.

1. Do you know if this defect is covered by warranty or can I find some problems?

2. Do you know how it works with MSI such as time and simplicity of the procedure?

3. Do you know how to try to solve or diminish this monitor problem?
 
If it is under warranty, contact Mediaworld and/or MSI.

You might also make sure your brightness and contrast settings are not the problem.
 
Why not just ask them ?

And no, it can't be solved, it's a side effect of the technology used. Basically any display that needs an additional light source to work will exhibit this issue to some extent, especially those who are "edge-lit" meaning the light comes from the edge of the screen. The only ones that don't have this are OLEDs.
