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! steam deck picture in the dark

    That looks excessive to me. Mine has a little light on the top edge near the corners, which is annoying but acceptable. Each spot is about a quarter of the size of the bottom left blob in your image.

    I’d say yours is worth sending in for warranty.

      Ditto. Mine has some bleed in the top center’ish edge area but not really anything considerable in the main screen areas

    I never thought that the LCD screen on the Deck is as bad as some people make it out to be, but then mine wasn’t anywhere near this bad. Definitely contact support.

      I’ll try to live with it because this is my fifth Steam Deck as I already sent it four times because of other issues, the last one (the 800mhz/400mhz issue) this unit has not solved in the slightest. I’m sick and tired of playing this lottery
