M1 MacBook Air black uniformity (red glow)

[ipomac]

Please, some real answer.
1. Is there any possibility to fix that (without screen swaping or replacement for my money)
2. or better return it
because I have only few days to return it if I decide. So maybe it is not display problem, but some Monterey OS "feature".
Please 🙁

There’s no way to fix it. You gotta replay the lotto

They said no return, only "go to service"...

Hi,
Got a backlight leak on my MBA M1. Returned.
I think red/green glares are ok but not light leaks

To test: https://www.lightbleedtest.com/

did you return it?

Here is mine one with a 3 sec exposure and one without. Taken from iPhone 11

Are these acceptable?

I dont notice it during normal usage. I just noticed today if I goto this page https://poetsandquants.com/consultants/ the grey on left side of the page is slight brighter than the right side. Ever so slightly.

It might look uneven because of angle. For example, in the two pictures above it looks like the left side is brighter but might be because the POV is shifted to the left. Take more pictures from different angles.

Hard to say for sure from the photos but it looks very much the same as in my unit (see the first post in this thread). Anyway, I don't see that problem in my unit other than in a dark room with full screen black images and rather high brightness setting. Sometimes it can be seen on black bars on top and bottom of the image in video content but I rarely use mine for that anyway. Also there is no problem with any brighter images, so I don't see any problem in everyday use and in web browsing. If it would show similar problemin those cases, then I would not accept it. I'm very demanding with displays and I can hardly tolerate this issue just because I know it is there. 🙂

BTW, this is not just POV angle issue, but you can see this red side problem gets even worse from certain angle.

Well I've seen 5 airs so far. All right reddish right side. Seems to be similar to 90% of the pics in this thread. I'm glad I don't have backlight bleed atleast.

It's the True Tone, so uncheck that especially on M1-2 machines with modern displays!
