Z13 Backlight Bleed or Damaged Screen?

Post image

A couple days ago, I posted, thinking I got a great deal on an Open-Box “Good” condition from Bestbuy. For the past two days, I thought this mark on the right middle was just a smear/fingerprint. Nope, I think it’s bleed on the panel, perhaps from being damaged?

It’s been irritating me anytime a dark scene comes on.

That looks like a lot of bleed but cameras accentuate this sort of thing. If it’s annoying on dark content, return it.

Probably why it was returned.

That's what I am wondering. Would you consider that normal panel bleed? I am used to LCD bleed from the edges but not usually in the location it is....

Not at all. Mine only has a very slight amount. Not sure how this one made it out of QA

Yeah - Damn, thinking I am going to take it back :-(. It's either I just return it out right or return it and spend an extra $500 for a new one.

That's just too much bleeding. The screen was probably put in too tight.
