tp4tissueThe backlight "bleed" is a symptom of IPS panels. All IPS displays (including the Dell Ultrasharps) will exhibit this behavior. What you're really worried about/looking for with bleed is mid-panel bleed that changes colors, etc. IPS is critical for graphic editing and true color reproduction, but is sub-par for watching movies or working with full-screen deep-black work (because of the way the panel allows lighting around the edges).

SeanCWith regards to movies and deep-black, what type of monitor would you suggest for those things?

SeanCAs far as I understand it, "backlight bleeding" and IPS "glow" are two different things which is why I asked my earlier question to Will. IPS "glow" is an unavoidable part of the IPS technology like you mention but this normally shows up as a very uniform white to grey lightening of almost the entire screen when you view the monitor off-angle. The only way this would show up in normal use is if you sat very close to the monitor. (Since your head is now viewing the corners of the screen off angle.) This monitor has a very thin profile and the only way to make this happen is to use an edge-lit LED lighting system. When the system is properly aligned the display should have pretty uniform lighting. When it's misaligned there will be patches of light around the edges of the monitor visible even when viewing the monitor directly from the front. This is a QC issue and not an IPS issue and is not acceptable. This monitor is somewhat notorious for this problem which is why that satisfaction guarantee Will mentioned is so important to me.

andrew.bVA panels as they're called have the deepest blacks and are well suited for your needs.

andrew.bAs David said, MVA / PVA panels will be the best for your needs. I agree with your concerns, David. My description of the issue was far too short, but essentially those seeing splotchy lighting from the front aspect need a replacement as it's a QC issue.
