Thats relatively nothing. My 4S was terrible. you could see the LED spotlights.
That is so slight of a bleed. I worry you will go to all the trouble and get a worst phone for the efforts.
I also had that I had to replace my 4s 5 or 6 times before I found one that didn't have it
I have the same issue as OP. It's only noticeable on a totally black screen. It has not bothered me yet, but, if it starts to, I will pay a visit to a store here.
Hello everyone. My phone has the margins of the screen brighter than the rest of the screen (see attached pic). Is this normal?
I too have ever so slightly backlight bleeding at same exact spot on my Plus, it isnt really too bad at all, on black screens it prettt much looks uniform, but there is a little bit that I do see....wonder if overtime as the backlight gets used if itll even out or slightly dim there, kind of bothers me, but I think my case is lighter then yours, not gonna try and go replace it though because the next one could be worse or have other issues (my Plus is flawless in every single other way)
Tell me how it goes! I'm disappointed when I tried to replace it but is this backlight bleed normal?
well i am not gonna try the replacement game right now, my Plus is pretty much flawless and the backlight is quite minor.., as for backlight bleeding being normal? Not all LCD's are going to be perfect, LCD uniformity is pretty hard to nail down, most LCD displays do exhibit some form of little light leakage and bleed, it is not as common on the Plus and 6 now due to photo alligned UV light displays that go into these new phones, but it still can occur, getting a LCD display to exhibit absolutely no light bleed and leakage is hard, and a feat in itself, (the Plus and 6 do seem to have the best LCD uniformity ever according to Displaymate so)
Oh thanks! What advice do you give to me who tried a replacement yesterday and the Genius told me at the Apple Store after looking at it and comparing it to others that it is normal? My backlight bleed is minimal and I barely notice it during normal usage.
Some display units may exhibit it, some may not, thats the thing with LCD technology, it is not 100% perfect and this is where OLED has advantages in having perfect screen uniformity and no backlight(OLED has issues of its own too though)
Id say just keep it, nd just relax...slowly overtime too itll go away the backlight as we start to use our phones even more I believe, or itll just dim enough to the point where it is gone eventually....if you truly want to get your phone completly replaced , its really hit or miss with the Genius's, you could of told them, "hey this issue just started developing and im afraid itll get worse over time," etc etc.
