    Hello guys!

    I got the Aero 15 (classic XA), and it looks it has backlight bleed. When the screen shows content I can't notice it, but dark screen on maximum brightness does get some orange color on the sides. Also, much worse when the hinges are working, is this normal?

    The video is taken with a phone camera (but is after WhatsApp compression), no long exposure.
    Does it look like some serious BB?

    It doesn't look great, no. I'd probably ask to get that unit exchanged.

    Just picked up an otherwise super clean Dell E7470 that looks about like your vid. Does that result from a deviant panel, or poor installation? My aging Asus ux305fa has virtually zero
