    What is 'bleed' or 'backlight bleed' on an LCD monitor?

    a)
    A feature that makes colors appear more vibrant.
    b)
    Light from the backlight leaking unevenly around the edges or corners of the screen.
    c)
    An image that persists on the screen even after it should be gone.
    d)
    A group of pixels that are permanently stuck on or off.

    Explanation

    This is a common issue with LCD technology, especially on edge-lit displays. It is most noticeable when viewing dark scenes in a dark room and appears as patches of brightness where the screen should be black. It's caused by imperfections in the seal between the panel and the bezel.
