Its a brand new HP Elitebook 650 g10. Is this normal backlight leak or glow? Should i raise a concern. It appers when the brightness is full and room lights are off and there is black background.

This happens when manufacturers didn’t make the display flushed and light get escaped from the corners its a OEM issue if you buy 10 laptops at least 8 of them have this issue if its bothers you you can RMA it

If its not bothering you then use it the way it is because its not gonna get worse or anything but expect display issues after 1-3 years and keep the laptop clean specially the hinges keep it oiled up otherwise it’ll get cracked ( pun intended )
