Hello. I'm building a PC and I've bought a monitor for it, a 27 inch 1440p/165Hz IPS panel by AOC, AG271QG. It's pretty cheap for the specs, I've checked it by plugging it in my laptop's HDMI (the other PC parts won't arrive for a while) and there's no dead pixels, the colors really pop after years of using a cheap laptop TN panel, however when I read about the backlight bleed testing and put on a completely black picture - well, it does bleed that yellow backlight, definitely not just IPS glow. The photo exaggerates it somewhat, but it's there. Isn't noticeable during watching videos, but is when the screen is completely black. The question is - should I really care? I mean, from what I read on the net almost all IPS panels bleed to some extent. I've seen pictures and mine doesn't look to be terrible. If I return it, I might get a worse one, right? Or should I try one of those fixes people post, like shoving a credit card between the bezel and the panel? Seems risky, it just makes it worse for some people.
What's your opinion?

Here's the picture where I circled the areas where it's actually noticeable (on a black background) - there are two small areas on the bottom of the monitor, two on top and the upper right is the biggest area (but it's kind of pale compared to the more intense but smaller spots).
its shit shitty shit probably made by AU optronics.
Find something with an LG or Samsung IPS panel

Yeah but those are going to cost more. And as I understand the bleed is because the bezel isn't in close enough contact with the panel, or something like that?
What would you recommend?

It's also the same panel used in some ViewSonic monitor, apparently, XG2703.

buy second hand
Seems like the most trivial problem ever OP. You should accept that the monitor uses light and you're not going to get a pure black scene. Which should never be a problem, because the whole point is to observe light and colors. Turn your monitor off if you want a pure black scene. Or close your eyes.

Welcome to IPS displays.

This is your punishment for abandoning glorious cathode ray tubes. Enjoy your shitty cheap chink panels where serious defects are brushed off as quirks of the hardware and it's all a roll of the dice how bad it will be.

Can i get full hd 27" crt monitor today? No? So I'll stay with led backlight monitors.
AOC sucks, I bought an IPS panel from them and it had massive backlight bleed issues along with dead pixels after a week of use.
I had this badly on my y50. Bought a shiny new IPS and the quality is so much better I couldn't believe it. New problem is temporary burn in. For example if I browse YouTube for even 10 minutes the logo gets burned in when I switch screens. It goes away within like 2 minutes but happens everytime I'm on a still screen. Luckily doesn't matter much when gaming or using software for a long period of time like Maya.

You got more than FHD CRTs 15 years ago too.
