Light bleed from corners?

Hi,
Just got two 20" cinema displays and both are exhibiting light patches from all for corners when dark backgrounds are selected.
One is worse than the other but both show it.
Is this normal or am i just unlucky with these two?

I just recently got my macbook, and I see some washout on the dock. It looks like this is normal. A friend of mine has the same computer and his looks just as mine does. If you think it is really bad I would take it to an apple store and have them take a look!

Light bleeding from capacitive buttons.

Hello.
My brand new Lumia 900 has light bleeding onto the screen from the capacitive button's backlight. There is also light coming out on the leftside between the glass and the polycarbonate.
Is this a common problem and can I return this phone as DOA?
Thanks.

I have it on mine and honestly its not that obvious, unless you are really looking for it or during night time..
The lumia's generally have quiet a few bugs, both in hardware and software, which I tend to ignore as overall its beautiful phone.
If it worries you too much get it changed although there is little chance the new one might have it as well

Yoga 2 Pro - Light bleed on screen - is this acceptable / normal for this screen?

Hi all,
I wonder if someone could give me some advice as to whether the light bleed I'm experiencing on my Yoga 2 Pro is 'acceptable'. It doesn't bother me in normal day to day tasks like office work, email, web browsing but it's pretty distracting when watching videos in a dark / dim room, particularly where the video itself contains dark scenes or letterboxing.
I've done a bit of searching on the web it seems that black light bleed is a pretty common issue with these types of displays.
The following photos were taken on a DSLR in a totally dark room whilst running a video of complete black on youtube:
Brightness 100% - overexposed a bit in camera to show main areas of light bleed. The lower right corner is the most severe. Light bleed is also quite prevalent along the bottom of the screen.

Brightness 70-80% - exposed to represent as closely as possible what i see when watching the black video in a dark room.

Brightness at 50%

Would this light bleed warrant a return? I bought this from John Lewis in the UK and they have an excellent returns policy. I do love the laptop but the light bleed is pretty annoying. I've seen some images of other peoples light bleed and I worry that if I was to get this replaced I may end up with one with much worse light bleed than what I currently have.
Any thoughts and advice would be most appreciated.
Cheers.

Ok, I think I have identified the source of the light bleed from the top right corner. It seems that whatever they use to glue the panel down to the backing has loosened. If I press down on the top left corner of the screen it is rock solid. If I press down on the top right side where the light bleed is it flexes downward. When I push down on the border the light bleed disappears.
So it would appear I don't have a panel problem, I have a glue problem. Bummer. Will contact Lenovo today. Hopefully getting this fixed won't involve sending my Y2P into some shop for 3 weeks.
The light bleed sucks but what concerns me more is that the panel's integrity seems to be failing and could get worse. I hope Lenovo has a local shop that can take a look at this.

Is the iPad 2 light bleeding issue fixed yet?

Did Apple finally fix the issue of light bleeding from under the bezel or are defective iPad 2s
still being sold?
Anybody knows?
Regards

Hey everyone,
Just purchased my iPad 2 yesterday from the Apple Store in Birmingham. It was the last one left in the store so you can imagine how happy I was to get one finally! However I have also noticed mine is suffering from this backlight bleeding problem, in quite a few spots around the screen. I also have either a couple of dead pixels or a large piece of dust stuck under the glass in the middle of the screen, which is equally annoying. Will Apple exchange this for me? Should I ring up the nearest Apple store and see what they'll do? I love this device and just wanna get on and use it, but for the money I'm paying I don't think I should put up with defects. What's everyone's advice?

Light bleeding issue help

I have had my ipad for almost 4 months now and i had this light bleeding issue since i first purchased but now i find it a problem when i look at pictures and watch videos. I have also got a few dents as last week my daughter dropped the ipad from both sides so the corners on the Ipad are dented so if i take my ipad to the genius bar for repair i feel nervous that they might think the dents caused the light bleeding so i wanna know if my 8 month warranty will help my ipad become repaired or replaced.

The warranty does not cover accidental damage.
That said the only way you will know if your warranty will remain in effect as to the light bleeding even with the dents is to visit the Apple store and find out.

What should I do about light bleeding on iPhone 5?

I've noticed some pretty noticable light bleeding on the top right hand corner of my 32GB iPhone 5. I took it to AT&T and the representative there said they weren't able to do anything, I would have to take it to an Apple store. Problem is, the nearest Apple store is over an hour away from my house and I don't want to make a trip just to have them tell me they can't do anything. Any suggestions?

Bring the phone back for evaluation.

17" MBP Display - TN or IPS? - Light Bleed?

I've had a 15-inch Unibody MBP since December and am not thrilled with the display. It apparently uses twisted neumatic (TN) technology, as it has a very narrow viewing angle. And as has been described in other posts, many individual displays have a problem with light bleeding around the perimeter.
I'd like to know how the new 17-inch MBP compares. I know it has a greater gamut. But does the viewing angle suggest it uses TN, IPS (In-Plane Switching), or some other technology? And have any individual displays exhibited the same kind of light bleeding that has plagued the 15-inch models?

EWW: Thanks for elaborating. (Your full message isn't displaying, but I received it in the email notification. Don't know what happened to it.)
Your point is well taken, but after talking to an Apple rep, and then noting the number of posts from people who got multiple replacements with the same problem, it seems an uncomfortable proportion of 15" MBPs recently shipped are in this condition, to some degree. And for myself, far from the nearest Apple service, repair or replacement is lengthy and inconvenient.
I fully intend to have the problem corrected. But there's no hurry.

Light bleeding

My iPad 2 has light bleeding and 1 dead pixel and also dented corners. It is still under warranty so if I take it to a genius bar, will they repair/exchange it or will it cost?

How old is your product? I'm betting that you're trying to score a new iPad3. Apple has a specification for dead pixels, and only one dead pixel will not qualify for a free repair. Accidental damage caused by the user, including dented corners, is not covered by the warranty.

My 920 has a strange light glowing from side

I love my nokia and what it can do. However I have recently found out that on the left hand side of the phone in between one of the ridges in the phone there is a light emitting from there. Can some one tell me what this is caused by or if it is normal and if not how to fix it?

hi mate, may be a sign of physical damage where something has become detached and is causing light bleed. in this case, i would get it checked out at your nearest Nokia Care location.

Light Bleeding on 55 inch 3d TV

Has any one else experienced pretty significant light bleeding on the 55 inch 3d LED tv?
Its really bad in the corners and in the middle of the screen. Especially on a dark screen in low light settings. For example the white text on a black screen when a movie starts. Everyone I have had over notices it...
My question is are there setting I can change? I guess maybe the backlight, but that just makes everything darker...
Amazon is willing to exchange it.. should I try?

It's probably a bad display panel or other hardware in the TV. The hardware warranty is only one year, so don't wait to get this fixed.
Call Toshiba support and tell them about the problem: 800-631-3811. YOU WILL NEED THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE TV.
Get them to send a technician to your house to diagnose the problem.
Technician will inspect the TV, then work with Toshiba support over the phone on a diagnosis: to either replace the TV or repair it. They will send the case to Toshiba customer support: 855-641-6920, who will decide whether the TV will be repaired or replaced.
GET DISPATCH OR CASE NUMBERS FOR EVERYTHING.
Stay on top of it, and keep records of who you talked to and who said what. Keep in touch with Toshiba customer support: 855-641-6920 .
There are two possible outcomes: 1) Toshiba sends a replacement TV to your house and installs it, or 2) Toshiba sends replacement parts to the technician to be installed in your home.
After the part(s) are replaced, the hardware warranty IS NOT EXTENDED.

Do white new iPad's have more light bleed problems?

I have exchanged 3 white 64GB wifi only new iPad's and will be exchanging for my 4th one today. are there more light bleed problems with white iPad's? I don't know how many times i will have to exchange until I get a good one. can someone show me of a white ipad that has no defects what so ever.

I just want to mention that if the DSL light isn't on, it is definitely the phone line, however it is not always the provider's fault. Remember they are responsible for the line from the pole to the house, but not the inside wiring. If your phone line is unplugged from the jack, the DSL light will not be on. To be sure that it is SBC's fault, go and test the connection at the d-marc box outside the house.
Take your laptop, your modem and a phone line and plug it in out there. If you don't get the DSL light, it is definitely their problem. If you do outside, but not in the house, and you call them out, you will get charged for the service call.
Also the built in ethernet cards, more commonly referred to as airport cards, are not really delicate per se, but the wire for the antennae connection is most definitely. Only if you removed yours which you would have to if you wanted to add RAM, would you have any reason to be concerned about possibly damaging it. SBC telephone tech support is always showing off their lack of knowledge.

IPad with Back light Bleeding

I've had my ipad a week and its irritating the crap out of me that when i watch a movie, I can see the bleed from the back light.
Is apple replacing these defective devices?
http://i51.tinypic.com/24699x3.jpg look how annoying that is!!

I have it but not horribly. I have resigned myself to wait until the mad rush for the iPad2 is over and see how they resolve the issue. Reminds me of the iPhone4 camera problem with white balance. Eventually they solved it. At that point I took mine (iPhone) back (several months later)and they still replaced it without questions. I am suspecting they will do the same with the iPads.

I have light leaking from the right top corner of my iPhone 5.is it a problem or a major thing. Is there anyone, who hasn't got this problem?

I noticed light leaking from the top right corner of my new iPhone 5 from a small area. I noticed first, when I changed the brightness to higher and when I changed back the light was still there.

Personally I would take it to the Apple Store cause the iPhone is still under warranty. You should try your carrier first if your not near an Apple Store and then go from there based on what help or lack of help they provide.
Best of luck.

Red light coming from my audio output, speakers not working

I read somewhere about wiggling a toothpick around in there, but that didn't work, any other ideas.
This happened after I had a 1/4 to 1/8 converter plugged in there to use a little mini amp.
I've lost the use of speakers.
headphones work fine
I think the optical input is still reading as if something is plugged in. Not sure if there's something in my system I need to switch, or if I need to take it in, have the jack opened up and replaced

Just to rule out the obvious make sure your mute switch (F3) is not on. If your 'switch is stuck' you would see a red light coming from the headphone port.
Double check your Sys Prefs - Sound settings ...if things still are not working you might try a SMC reset followed by a Pram reset that would restore your orig. settings.

After I import the photos into light room from a folder, the deveop module cannot be accessed? What can I do to process those photos that are on my hard driive?

If you are using a standalone version of Lightroom, you may have updated with the CC-licensed update. That will not work. If this is your situation then it will be necessary for you to uninstall Lightroom and then install an update from a different website. Assuming that you are using Lightroom 5, this is where you need to download from:
Product updates
After you make the change you will be able to continue from where you left off. The switchover does not affect your images or your catalog.
