Laptop Screen "Backlight Bleed" (Bright edges)
4.5
In a dark room, the edges of the screen look bright or yellowish, especially on black backgrounds.
Symptoms
- Bright edges
- Uneven blacks
- Yellowish glow
Possible Causes
- Tight bezel
- LCD panel pressure
- Manufacturing variance
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Lower Brightness
Bleed is much more noticeable at 100% brightness.
2
Gently Massage the Bezel
Use a microfiber cloth to very lightly press the edges of the screen to relieve pressure.
3
Check Warranty
If it's severe (visible during normal use), it may be considered a defect.
When to See a Technician
Backlight bleed is a physical characteristic of IPS panels; almost every screen has some, but the amount varies.
