Backlight Bleed Test

Inspect LCD edge bleed, clouding and angle-dependent IPS glow.

PREPARE

Before you start

  1. 1Use a dark room.
  2. 2Let the display warm up for 15 minutes.
  3. 3Disable dynamic contrast and HDR.

OBSERVE

What to look for

  • Fixed bright patches near an edge.
  • Cloud-like areas that stay in place.
  • Changes that disappear when your viewing angle changes.

MEASUREMENT BOUNDARY

What this test cannot prove

Camera exposure often exaggerates bleed, and IPS glow changes with viewing angle.
