iMac M1 Display Bleeding

[f4uce]

Is this screen bleeding normal or should I return it? I bought this used iMac earlier this week and received it today.

@f4uce Yes, that’s the usual result if you photograph an edge lit IPS screen, like the iMac has, in a dark room with an iPhone camera.

The camera’d AI assumes you want to view something in the picture, and over-exposes the image massively to try to bring the brightness up to a ‘normal’ picture level.

Useless for analysing the actual screen quality.

how can I check screen quality then? I have tried a few online tools but im still not so sure

Use it normally, and if it looks good and you're happy with it, then it's fine.

That looks awful. Maybe been disassembled at some point for repair? Send it back.

The great thing about online forum comments is that they are great for selecting those that validate one’s confirmation bias 🙂
