    MacBook Air M2 backlight bleeding

    Hi. I’ve just got a new MacBook Air M2 with backlight bleed. It’s my second MacBook (I had MBP M1) and it’s also defective. I’m disappointed. Should I get a new MBA or all of them have this issue?

    Hey guys, question for you guys with 2019 iMacs what’s the backlight bleed like on then? I had a 2017 and I sent back 2 machines due to severe light bleed an discolouration. Would be great to see some photos of your machines with a black background in a dark room at full brightness. Thanks!
