Macbook air m1 backlight bleeding

[mrfish84]

Hi,
Just received my Macbook Air m1 and noticed some backlight bleeding (escpecially the big one at the top) when watching movies.
Do some of you have the same issue ? Should I return it ?
Thanks

Mine is not bad at all in dark light. I'm very sensitive to it too. 🙂

The black in the middle is not black enough. Turn down the brightness. 100% is intended to be used in bright light.

I'm testing with this site https://www.lightbleedtest.com/ at 100% brightness but the white spot is visible even at 25% brightness when watching moving

Stop looking for problems. That's not representative of how you would be using the machine. If you see the light bleeding at the top during normal use, that's different.

I’d definitely return that copy. But depending on exactly how serious Apple is about manufacturing variance, the replacement may also have some problems.

When watching fullscreen videos I see the lighter zone at the top especially on dark scenes. So I consider this as nornal use

If that's the case, then I do too.

blew my mind, that this website existed just for this purpose. tested my own m1 mba, no bleeds. manufactured march 2021, bought a week ago.

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

Are these acceptable?

I don't even see an issue. How often do you crank the brightness and look at a blank screen?
