How bad is my backlight?

Greetings,

I'm a proud owner of a new Dell 2405 which also happens to be my first LCD monitor ever.
I'm just trying to learn how to take care of it the right way.

However, I was not aware of this "backlight" issue until I read about it. I notice some whitish "clouds" in the four corners of the screen.

I can see them on a clean, black desktop and in certain movie scenes like any Star Wars crawl for example. It's not bothering me too much but I wanted to get some opinons as to how bad it is in comparison to others.

I've been told that all lcd's have them. Here I've linked a picture to what my screen looks like. I upped the brightness to 100 on the monitor for the picture to be noticable. I also noted that other people did this in their threads.

Maybe it's nothing to worry about but I'd love to get some opinions on it. Sorry about the blurry picture. It's attempt 20 and it was as good as I could get it.

Thank you in advance :)
 
Display a pure black image in full screen.

The white parts of your image will blow out the black details on your camera.
 
Followup question:

So pretty much everyone has a slight backlight like this?

I saw in some threads people saying they don't have any but I wasn't sure exactly what that meant.

Thanks all for the speedy responses, it is much appreciated.

Regards
