Just got my Dell u2713HM and abit concerned about that yellow spot in the lower left corner.
Those that have dealt with BLB, you guys think this amount is acceptable or should i RMA ?

    That seems like a lot of backlight bleed.  I would take it back and get a replacement.

    I have two of these monitors and is a "design flaw".
     
    If you RMA it, the new one will be the same or worse.
    You have three options:
     
    1)Return the monitor and get a full refound from the store you bought it.
    2)Register the monitor with Dell. Wait and RMA it when a new revision of the monitor gets out (This is the option I made). Mine have a 3 years warranty by Dell.
    3)Live with that.
     
    I will do option 2. If you play with the profiles and adjusting brightness (I have set mine to only 40% because I don't like ultrabright screens), the blacklight is no much problem for me, but I still can see the orange/yellow blacklight on lower left corner under very dark frames.
     
    Good luck!
