Here's the thing with IPS, most run the brightness way too high. This is always going to influence more backlight bleed regardless of what panel you have. For example, I have two GSync monitors, Asus PG348Q and the Asus PG278Q. Out of the box the brightness settings where insane, pushing nearly 200 nits brightness. I calibrated it with my i1 Display Pro to 120 Luminance (brightness setting), gamma of 2.2 and white point at 6500K (D65). Once I calibrated it really killed the bleed. Calibrated my brightness is now set at 29 with a contrast of 50.
I suggest watching this video . It's a easy to understand 19 minutes and you spent $600+, why not set it up properly.
WARNING: When you set up your monitor correctly, i.e. not in 'EYE SCORCH BRIGHTNESS MODE', it's going to look a little dim at first. Once your eyes adjust it'll look light years better (Pun intended).
I set my IPSs to the lowest brightness possible and still got glow across the screen. You need to spend a few seconds comparing an AMVA panel to an IPS one before you know what you are missing. Perhaps when you haven't seen the opposite, you cannot see the flaws?
