Before I start, I'm not trolling. I'm genuinely interested in how much of a problem light bleed is.
I'd never really heard about light bleed before I joined this forum, and in the past year or so it seems to have become a massive point of discussion.
But my questions is, how bad is it really? My machine is just over 3 years old now (mid-2009 MBP) and I checked it for light bleed today. It looks pretty bad!
Thing is, I only noticed it when I got a completely black JPEG and made it fill the whole screen, and turned all the lights off in the room... using it the rest of the time, I can't tell there's anything wrong!
Does it get so bad that it genuinely makes the picture on the screen look awful (as people make out), or is it similar to the image retention with the rMBP where you have to do all these tests to see if you suffer from it or not (which really, is just stupid imo)?
(edit: just realise I missed the word "of" from the thread title... oops)
