AOC AG352UCG and BLB: what's acceptable on a VA panel? What are your experiences?
Really like the AG352UCG but I thought VA panels weren't supposed to have BLB. Most of it is perfect but there's a baseball-sized area of BLB in the lower right that's clearly noticeable in dark scenes. I can post some pics tonight but we all know how tricky it is to get accurate BLB pics.
So, any general info on BLB and VA? Your experiences?
Wondering if I should play the RMA game. It's livable as is but if I have a decent chance at perfect I think I'll try for it. Better luck with the Z35P maybe (same panel, but presumably higher binned)? Anything else I should consider?

Resubmitting because post deleted due to no flair, here's a reply from u/bee_burr_wzz that got left behind:
"I have virtually no BLB just some very faint glow in each bottom corner almost invisible. From all the reviews I've read and pictures I've seen it sounds like yours is defective and I would RMA it asap. Would hate for it to ruin such a good monitor for you"
Yeah, this more than faint glow for sure. I tried an IPS panel (34UC79G) and didn't find the IPS glow a bother at all, would have kept that one if it was 1440p. This is more like a light grey blob, it doesn't align perfectly with the edges either so maybe not BLB? Glad to hear yours has no issues, I'm leaning towards trying for the same... no point in paying an extra 200e for the Z35P just for the nicer bezel if we can get the QC with this one.

You don't pay extra 200e for the Z25P just for the nice bezel, that monitor overclocks at 120hz unlike the AOC.
