@Matt201191 I just have bought a samsung led tv 7000 series a few days and i have the annoying screen bleeding!!! Any recomendation to get rid of this issue?

@afas1976 It is a design problem. No changes can be made to get rid of it. If it is not up to your standards, I would take it back.

Do all SAMSUNG LED TV suffer from BACK LIGHT bleeding as I just bought the SAMSUNG D5520 LED and when I am watching an dark scenes I notice in the centre and the top left and right corners and white light which looks blurry. Why does this happen and is it a natural part of LED and anything I can do to help it. Thanks

@Matt201191 This has been a problem with most LED TVs from many manufacturers. The only way to get rid of it is to buy a model with local LED dimming.

wow. Thats weird. I just bought a d7000 and the firdt thing I dis was put on planet earth and I noticed the same thing. Am I crazy for thinking my LCD backlit samsung was better than my led backlit samsung?!??! This backlight bleed looks TERRIBLE!

@dzlvs8 The older models had LEDs behind the screen instead of firing from the sides. These by far were the better models. Side firing LEDs in a lot of TVs made things worse. Too many people and manufacturers worrying about making the TV slimmer rather than better.

@DJAlup You don't know what your talking about because many people have been experiencing BACKLIGHT BLEED on there LED TV'S!

@ElvisForeverAlways1 Sorry, no. The backlighting was not set high. Thee will always be problems with sidefiring LED backlighting. No setting fixes it.

i have this problem with my lcd what i did was i turn the brightness setting up a little and while it takes away a little from the screen being deep deep back it takes away the clouding or bleeding in the screen

Now that I corrected dj, I want to point out that all Edge-lit LED TV's suffer from this exact same problem... technically it's not actually backlight bleed, you are just able to see parts of the backlight during a black screen because certain spots are brighter with the edge led, a Full array LED backlit tv shouldnt have this problem.
