    Hi guys. Two or Three months ago i buy Clevo P651RP6-G. I know the backlight bleed but I did not pay much attention. What do you think about it? Is it too much? %100 brightness and dark room. [​IMG] Is it too much?

    Can you do a half white half black screen as your camera could impact how it looks.

    Really it comes down to how it looks in person as a camera's contrast setting is going to play with the result, it can make an OK screen look terrible and a poor one look OK.

    I was thinking doing a half white screen and half black screen image would help even out the contrast when people post these pictures.

    Very few notebook screens have uniform backlighting (look at the brightness measurements in the reviews at notebookcheck).

    The test is whether the unevenness in lighting is visible in everyday usage.

    Thanks for the reply. Bleed not show daylight. Just night or less room light. It only appears in black scenes. For example, watching movies at night or ın the dark scene of the games.

    If you can manage to get a photo of one of those scenes then that will provide good evidence to support the request for a replacement.

    Getting pictures in a well lit room, as well as a dark room, and maybe getting some pictures from different angles also helps. I've seen a camera pick up a tiny light bleeding and make it much worse than it is based on just the angle that the screen was captured at.

    This is an egregious issue we've had on inquiries with backlight bleed. We then bring the system in and the bleeding, 2/3 times, isn't half as bad as the photo made it look.

    Yes a photo of a movie scene or any other where it is impacting the result would be great.
