Hi there, I know this has been debated for a long time but just trying to understand if this level of backlight bleeding is normal. To add some context, this picture was taken in a dark room with the deck showing a completely black image. Thanks!
Yeah that’s pretty typical for the LCD model. It’s honestly not too bad when you have content playing that fills the whole screen, and it always looks way worse in a very dark environment.
Mine is like this, but it doesn’t really bother me too much. I’m usually playing in a well lit room though.
Same for me. That’s a common problem for LCD screens. That is a part of the reason I got an OLED version.
My LCD deck fortunately doesn’t have any backlight bleed, but I’ve seen many photos of other’s Decks with similar backlight bleed to yours.
I’ve heard of people having success eliminating or reducing their backlight bleed two different ways. Basically part of the cause of the bleed is that parts of the deck aren’t properly aligned/pulled together. To fix this, you can try:
- Tightening screws on back of the deck (take care not to strip the screws or overtighten to the point you break the plastic)
- Holding both grips of the Deck and “twisting” them in separate directions. Obviously don’t twist it hard enough to break anything.
I don’t have any experience with these fixes, I’ve just heard people say it helped online.
