Every tweak to your image quality can improve your overall experience, whether you’re using a monitor or a TV screen. Backlight bleeding is one of those tweaks that might not seem significant but can really impact the view.

While all screens will probably do a bit of backlight bleeding to some extent, you may minimize it and improve how things look on both large and small screens.

What is Backlight Bleeding?

Backlight bleeding is when light leaks around the edge of your display. It will create areas that are less dark than they should be and is more noticeable during dark scenes.

All of these strategies depend on thetype of display you’re using. The ones that involve taking apart a panel will also void your warranty, so approach them cautiously.

Change Your Display Settings

If you may’t fix the problem directly, changing your display settings can help reduce the impact of backlight bleeding.

Keep in mind that these changes might not improve your overall picture. They’re designed to help reduce the light bleed you see but not to give you the optimum picture otherwise. Keep trying to tweak things until you find a setting that works best for you.

Adjust Your Environment

If you may’t get the panel to emit less light with its settings, attempt to adjust the room you’re in. While it won’t change the display and the backlight bleeding, it might minimize its effect and make it more bearable.
