    Guys...
    Bought it yesterday and it looks like in the picture. Shall I try to replace it ? Or could be even worse ?
    Thanks

    I just bought it 2 days ago, got the same problem, already replaced with the new unit yesterday and today I notice the exact same issue and at the same spot. Could you share what was your solution back then?

    I haven't replace it because I knew that many of them have the same problem.
    I installed an M2 SSD and I've been using it like this and I got used to it now.
    I suppose the only solution should be the screen replacement.

    Pull the bezel a bit on the bright spots, its the bezel pressing on the display that causes those bright "bleed" spots.

    They all have it. I have 2 units of my own. I replaced the screen though. You can adjust the screws, the display itself is easy to replace.

    It is a common issue in Acer Nitro 5. Have it on my Nitro AN515-52
