Besides the backlight bleed issue, it is a great monitor! Especially for coding and gaming.
Can you take a picture of your backlight bleed issue? Just want to see how pronounced it is.
Elaborate?
Well I dont like it because the height is just not enough and it feels like using a small monitor like 24" or 27". It doesn't give me a feeling of using a larger screen, like the Dell 30" does.

get a 55" 4K TV and use it as your monitor
EDIT: see from earlier in the thread you are connected using DP. Strange. Thought maybe you were using some other connection method, and as a result the DP settings were not listed. As in the DP settings [or HDMI-related settings, etc] are only visible in the menu when the monitor is connected with those particular cables.
So just got the 34um95 monitor
and I can say right from the start that i dont like it
I was just wanted to try it out cause of this thread and how many ppl said it's amazing
So im going to return it tomorrow at my local Fry's store
and get the Dell U3014
Welp, after my nightmare of dealing with LG support, a positive outcome. After receiving my 34UM95 back at their repair center, I got a call from a service rep who stated they did not have any reconditioned 34UM95s in stock, so they would like to send me a brand new 34UM95-P instead. I said "sure" lol. Another bonus was that before I even started dealing with LG I called the retailer I purchased it from to see about a return. They said they'd either accept the return, or I could have a $100 refund to keep the monitor. SO end result is I should have a 34UM95-P after alot of headache for $800. Hurrah, #firstworldproblems!
What happend to the thread with someone having the korean sibling/twin of the AOC display? Can't find it..
This is the rev2 version.

Does it look that bad in person or is it the camera making it look worse? You should try getting a replacement and see if you have better luck with that one for backlight bleeding.

It is indeed that bad in person. I very, very rarely ever have an all black screen when doing anything except waiting for a game level to load or something, but its a little off putting. Outside of that though, everything else has been truly awesome, in my experience.
When did you get your monitor? I was reading earlier that LG was holding back stock of this monitor to fix some issues, which is why these monitors aren't widely available yet. Maybe reducing the severity of the backlight bleeding is one of the things they're fixing as I haven't seen any other complaints regarding this monitor.
...There's an audible popping/hissing noise that occurs every few seconds while this is happening.
edit: okay I did some more thread digging and decided to disable DisplayPort 1.2, I'll see if it makes a difference.
This is the rev2 version.
What brightness level is the monitor set to?
Can you please explain "panel bending"?
Most backlight bleed is due to panel warping during manufacturing processes or transport. You can easily rectify this by "unwarping" the panel by putting in correction factors in between the bezel and the panel... such as some bundled up cardboard. It's quite easy to do, so I doubt it would void warranty (provided it is undone before sending back to the manufacturer). I have personally done it on my Qnix and it took all of 15 minutes... and now it looks perfect. But do make sure that the bezel is easy to take apart before you attempt it (and there's no seal anywhere).
It's just a consideration if the rest of the panel is perfect and you don't want to try the exchange game.

I also was not impressed by LG 34UM95 after coming from a Dell U3011 monitor. I am a web developer and only use my monitor for productivity (no gaming). The monitor feels small and is too stretched horizontally to get a proper viewing angle. 2 monitors that are angled side by side is better for getting work done.
Any chance you have pics or a link with examples of how exactly to apply pressure via cardboard technique?
My 34UM95 is still in transit, and since I'm overseas I may have to try this instead of dealing with 1+month RMAs -_-
...I've read some comments by other devs that have used this monitor and they all pretty much agree that a 30" 2560x1600, or any 16:9 or 16:10 display in portrait mode, would be better suited for that purpose....
