Backlight bleed deal breaker on notebook display?

[davidm71]

Hi,

I got an Asus UX31A radiant black and the thing is almost a piece of technological marvel or even art until you look at the display when it casts white light shadows along its borders while displaying blacks. Is this a deal breaker or something one would start a RMA or return over?

Thanks.

Can you take a photo of it in a dark room so we can gauge the bleed?

The ASUS notebooks look and feel cheaply made to me, so I would expect at least some degree of backlight bleed. But maybe yours is abnormally bad.

It's most noticable to the left and upper right corner.

That looks very minor.

Camera had trouble taking a dark shot, but it is minor though wasn't sure if it was normal. I mean one dead pixel and people cry foul..

Thanks

I would wait until later in your warranty and RMA several things at once, exactly what I did with my 3830TG.

New photo I took tonight this time setting the camera to precisely the most sensitive setting to show whats going on:

Definitely going back to Bestbuy.
