Hello,

I bought a Iiyama G-Master GB2760QSU-B1 earlier this week. I bought it because it had lots of good reviews without any real bad ones.

After firing up the monitor I noticed a backlight issue... Some parts of the screen are darker than others, the left and right sides of the monitors are so dark it's even visible on white pages.

I took a picture, I know an image doesn't say anything but I drew lines on it to draw somewhat what it looks like.

Normal (thought I'd just add it):

Image with indications (White lines are brighter, black lines are darker):

I'm satisfied with the monitor, except for this part. This isn't just visible on dark scenes, but also on brighter (with dark mode on a website it's impossible NOT to notice it)

Is this a possible manufacturing fault or is TN/this monitor known for this? My current TN monitors have 0 backlight issues.
(Monitor will be returned either way, but if it's a manufacturing fault I might re-order it as I like it apart from that).

Any help or info is appreciated
