Hello, today I performed a test on my macbook m3 pro to see if there was a light leak (I turned off the light, raised the brightness to maximum, and put a black wallpaper)... and when I go to check, these reddish spots of background. My computer is new, they gave it to me, it has 3 or 4 charging cycles, and it is under warranty. They tell me at Apple to take it to Technical Service and they will solve it. I am very distraught because it is a 3000 dollar computer. What do you think the technician's resolution will be?
Got a tip for us?

Looks like you are playing or pausing a video. Those could simply be artifacts in the video data.
So i must use a black wallpaper instead a black video to check the lighting bleeding of my macbook?
A. Yes because black isn't always black.
B. In my opinion, it's a waste of time to go looking for problems in contrived situations.
I did the same experiment looking for light leaks, in a room with dark light, maximum brightness and a 4k video and no spots appeared, then I did the same with a black background that comes with the macbook and I didn't find those reddish spots either and I think that there are no light leaks either. How do you see it? (The blue circle is the shadow of my hand when I took the photo). Is it worth taking it for a technical review?
