When used in a well lite room which was the intention you don't see any light on the edges and it looks great.

I did notice the light on the edges when used in a dark room but that is expected from an IPS monitor.

If you are looking for multiple monitor set up and don't sit in an extremely dark room to notice the back light issue, then you probably wont have a problem.

I don't have to use my phone flashlight to see icons printed on the monitor itself when the room is dark.-Similar size to my previous monitor, not too large/small, nice resolution

The only thing I dislike is that it could be brighter to show up well in well-lit rooms, but that is the IPS displays fault.

The monitor I received suffered from the issue, to the point where if the room was dark, the image would be washed out

Even in a bright room you can see the screen bleed, nothing like most reviews implied.

I setup this room in an absolutely dark room with the brightness set to max and used a fullscreen pure black image and here were my

The light bleeding is NOT noticeable unless the room is dark and the image on the screen is also dark

There is light bleed if you're in a dark room and a dark screen is being displayed

but if you are watching a show with dark corners around the edge in a dark room it's pretty apparent

I haven't found the edge lighting to be as obtrusive as some reviewers have reported, perhaps because I don't play games in a very dark room, so that's a moot point for me
