Backlight bleed along the outer edges of the display

[teeejay]

Hey guys,

I was just wondering, like a month ago I went for MBP 15" Touchbar, almost fully spec (460, 2,9, 512).

And quite recently I've noticed, that it has quite a bad backlight bleed, but not inside of the display, but right next to the aluminum chassis, which holds the display. It goes from the top right corner almost to the right bottom corner, it is only noticeable when I turn my lights completely off and watch a movie for instance.

It looks like a fancy LED strip along the edge

My question is, do they replace only the display or everything, thanks.

Pic would be nice.

There was another thread on this somewhere, a few people had this. Not sure how it was resolved though.

It's right on the edge where the rubber seal is if I remember correctly?

Exactly, and I am not able to picture it correctly

Went through 5 returns (for different reasons), and they all have the backlight bleed to varying degrees. Will be interesting to see if this exists in the refresh...

Yeah, that's it.
