    On full brightness, I took this photo. In the middle of the screen near the bottom, there is a horizontal bright spot. Can anyone else confirm if they have a similar issue. QHD+ display. Thanks!

    I think it may be caused by this based on the iFixit teardown

    I got it too, but I really have to look for it to see it. In regular use I can't notice it.

    Hey I have the same thing.
    Can you please check on a similar white screen if you get a grainy texture effect at all? What I mention looks like a thin layer of grease on the screen or like small dots spread even over the screen? It might also appear like extremely tiny droplets of a clear liquid spread overall on the screen.

    Please let me know.

    Yes, I have the grainy effect even on the QHD+. This, I believe, is normal.

    Thank you for your response! I believe I need therapy for obsessing over things.
