That looks like IPS glow to me. To confirm, take another photo a few feet away from the monitor; if that pattern mostly or completely disappears (but for any backlight bleed), it's glow.

As to if it's "normal," depends on the model. That said, unlike backlight bleed, there's isn't usually a lot of variance in IPS glow from panel to panel of the same model, so that level of glow is probably normal for that model.

IPS glow disappears if you look at the display from different angles. BLB does not.
