Imac 24 M1 Bleeding

[blwegrzyn]

Is this normal behaviour?

That looks like some pretty bad bleeding

I wonder if this is how all m21 24Macs look like when in dark room?
Has anyone else seen similar?

Apple paid 60 dollars to make your computer of corse it going to be wonky

Honestly, it looks like normal IPS glow to me. I've been using higher-end IPS monitors for years and they all do that.

This is the consumer grade machine. The pro machine isn’t out yet. Of course it exhibits bleeding when forced to.

This looks quite normal for a video of an IPS screen in a dark room

Do we really need this thread? I have a suggestion for the OP. Use your iMac as you would normally use it? How do you find the display when normally using your iMac?

There's nothing wrong.

LCD screens have some kinda bleeding level, OLED or sOLED doesn't.

Don't overthink it. Enjoy your new iMac.

Better off getting a Hackintosh or Mac Mini M1 and connecting to a 48" LG CX or C1 OLED. You'll never go back to LCD.

Quoted for truth - with the modification that this looks normal for an edge-lit IPS-screen. If you use mini-LED backlighting, you avoid this.
Note that with mini-LED you will still be able to film/photograph glow with a good camera, but the ability of the eye to discern light levels depends on angle of view. At smaller angles the high intensity light blinds the eye to nearby low-light contrast. Thus micro-LED or OLED will look better when filmed with a good camera, but it may not matter to the eye, depending on how densely the backlight LEDs are distributed. YMMV.

As has already been said, having a completely black screen with the backlight brightness pulled up really isn’t a normal use case. Or even a use case at all. The phenomenon is mostly visible when watching dark scenes in movies in a darkened room.
