M4 iMac lower display light leak?

So just got my M4 iMac 2 weeks ago and ABSOLUTELY love it!

Alas upon firing up Silo on the Apple TV+ app, the lower corners have this light showing which can only be lessened by lowering the brilliance (of course, the show being inside, darkens the image too)

Other users se same thing n black background? Cause for concern? it is frankly annoying.

Here's a pic:

MacBook Pro 16 M4 Dimming Zones Extremely Noticeable I have traded in my MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro to the MacBook Pro 16 M4 Pro. The M1 display did not experience this issue at all. Issue: When viewing dark areas on the screen like black or dark grey (dark room, moving cursor, brightness at 30%-40%), the dimming zones are extremely noticeable. Temporary Fix: Change display refresh rate from ProMotion to 60Hz and then back again to ProMotion. This will either come back randomly or after a shutdown/restart/sleep. I understand that dimming zones on the display are noticeable but not to this extreme level. I can replace the device, but I think it's a software/energy management issue? I reported it as a bug already. Do you have a similar issue? Should I actually replace it? Thanks!

That does look annoying. I don't have this issue with my M1 iMac. Why don't you get it replaced? Your device should be covered in Apple Care.

Just to add, I don't have the problem with my M3 iMac.
