Backlight bleed

Hello all purchased a new ASUS g15 zephyrs and have a particularly bright area in the top right side as marked in the picture. It is noticeable with a dark screen with brightness turned down In your experience is this enough to risk a re roll and try for a new display. Thanks!

Looks like it’s an issue with assembly pressure. This would depend on how it is being assembled.  I don’t know if it would get better or not.  When you say Re roll I take it this is mail order?

Thanks for the reply! By re roll I mean exchanging for a new model

The way I personally prefer to do monitor purchases if possible is try-before-you-buy in a brick and mortar store because of stuff just like this.  Monitors are on the edge of what assembly accuracy can do and some are going to turn out better than others.  I like if possible to run the monitor in the store on a flat 50% grey like you’ve got it so I can inspect it and look for problems.  Not always possible though.

Thanks for the advise!
