Dell P2414H - IPS Glow or Backlight bleeding

Glow is a color shift when viewed from a wide angle, in terms of IPS mostly an orange tint.

Backlight bleeding is, as the term already suggests, an uncrolled behaviour of the backlights, hence the LED behind the LCD layer. Symptoms are an inhomogeneous reproduction of blacks, because the light is "bleeding" into the screen's center from the sides, where most screens placed the LEDs.

To this end, what you see there is a shallow backlight-bleeding effect, yet it is not that bad to be distracting to me though. You may want to try to pull a bit on the bottom left corner of the case, maybe that helps a little.

Should I try to (gently) press together the front end and the back end of the bezel of the monitor,
or should I try to gently pull down on the bezel (as if I was trying to stretch the monitor) ...wont this
make the backlight bleeding worse?

Wait, wasn't your post in english at first ?
I swear, I read it in english...

I go ahead in english, in case the translation was not done by human.

I mean both, basically... because you do not exactly know why the bleeding occurs. It might be due to some LEDs being glued to close to the LCD layer, simply too much glue which elevates few LEDs, bad placed plastic parts,maybe the case got a little squeezed whilst delivering or manufacturing...

You can try to tinker around, maybe it helps, but most probably it won't change something

However, bleeding occurs in every LCD type, it's due to the technique of seperating light-source and LCD/color-source. Afaik, that's why AMOLED are called the future...

Well, in your latest shots it appears to be pretty strong, however I can't judge that with high confidence due to not knowing what camera settings you've used... however I guess you uploaded just those pictures, which appear to reflect the effect pretty life-esque.

If so, yeee...seems a lil too bright at the bottom left corner.

I don't know that screen, not even sure if exist in Germany, but considering the test on tftcentral ( ) it states:

On a black image there was a slight white glow from an angle which can be problematic on some IPS panels.

As usual we also tested the screen with an all black image and in a darkened room. A camera was used to capture the result. Three was some slight leakage in the bottom left hand corners of the screen but nothing too severe, and certainly nothing you could spot during normal uses day to day.

They are talking about low brightness spots... not sure, but it may be advisable to go for an exchange unit.

Try RMA... yet, keep in head you're talking about a low-budget IPS screen.
