Well I guess I'm lucky that my Z5 is v1. No screen bleeding or dead pixel problem.

== I guess I have to buy warranty for on site service

Very suffer leh if I have to drive from johor to pj

The 2 Z5 v2 laptops at my place have no screen bleeding or dead pixels either.

Can you snap a picture of you screen in low light places with blacklight background? Cause if you check under a high light exposure room, you won't notice the screen bleeding.

i second this. everything works perfect. and i tested what all the sifus asked to test like usb screen etc

ya bro, post picture here so that its easy for people to make comparison later.

can say lucky la..coz we decided to just stick to the normal lcd, not the ips lcd

gambar bro

It's normal IPS will have some degree of bleeding

but under normal usage u won't even notice it, who stare at black screen anyway?

guys check attachment first. Is that mean that we can play gta v in 30FPS on z5 gtx860m 4gb vram?

The article is talking about desktop gpu, gtx760 not gtx760m. Take note about the M postfix.
GTX 760 > GTX 860M

Its about the quality. Not about staring at black screen or not. Its a gaming laptop anyway, and most games have dark corners so somehow you'll notice it sometimes.

But do you think this is acceptable?

my LG IPS also bleed at corners, before i read up article about these IPS bleeding issue I am totally fine with gaming or movie even on darker images

only when u looking at full screen of black u'll get annoyed

I say just try a few game or movie see if it's ok or not else use back TN

since Illegear claim the panel is high quality y not check out the model urself?

Yes, I urge the Z5 buyers must do a thorough checking on the screen quality upon receiving the machine. Ask them to check for you if you opt for shipping method like I did. It is doubtful for me since they claim that A+ grade screen is being used here, and possibly it is the poor installation causes the bleeding problem though

My screen bleeding is very noticeable even under normal room lighting on darker screen.

Actually I did my research on screen bleeding issue between IPS and TN on Google. And I could not found any facts nor reviews saying IPS tends to have more bleeding than TN typically. The overall conclusion from my amateur researches is, IPS is better in everything compared to TN except for the slight response time difference and price.

my dell ultrasharp bought 2 year ago also got corner bleeding, i call dell they say normal cannot exchange.

ya TN panel wil also have bleeding issue.. if urs is really bad no choice u have to bring back to seller, even DELL dun exchange their monitor for bleeding and not cover under warranty

I think there is no screen which has no bleeding issue. Almost all screen I had seem have slight bleeding. My v1 Z5 IPS panel also have slight bleeding, but it is unnotice-able though, even in low light. I need to switch off all light and be in a completely dark room I just can notice the bleeding. If your bleeding is too serious, try ask whether there is a replacement possible. Like what other said, I hardly see any manufacturer exchange a new screen for bleeding case.

erm i think my dell ultrasharp is ips screen.

Yeah @PrinceJ already offer me to exchange the screen and im very grateful for that. I know all screen have bleeding issue just that the bleeding level is acceptable or not.

Good to know then. But I seldom see manufacturer replace a screen even though it has serious bleeding issue. Well at least that is my case. lol

The Z5 screen is assembled in the factory (the same factory that manufacture Alienware FYI), not assembled by ILLEGEAR.

IPS bleeding is very common in the industry and almost all IPS screens we see have backlit bleeding. If you want something that has less bleeding, go for TN display I suggest.
