A:Answer The ips glow is unavoidable and noticeable on my unit, but backlight bleed is surprisingly low (only a little bit on the bottom right corner). It's unnoticeable for chrome/regular use, but blacks are definitely not true blacks. Unfortunately, I don't think you can get much better with IPS. If you frequently use monitors to show dark images, maybe consider a VA panel?
Pictures taken by phones tend to overexpose, so I couldn't get one that accurately represents what my eyes can see.
