Backlight Bleeding,is it normal or not?

Hi everyone, I bought 15 inch 2017 MacBook Pro.I have noticed that when I watch videos with dark backgrounds,on the corners of the screen, and if I look from some angles I can see purple-pink lights too. From true angle possible to see the whole screen purple. Compared with MacBook Pro 2016 13 inch and you can see 13 inch display not like that. 13 inch display same color from every angles.

if you guys compare with your own 15inch 2016-2017 MacBook Pro and please let me know what you see.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), iOS 11.0.3, Backlight Bleeding

I have the same problem. This is not a rare problem. most people replaces their Laptops 3 or 4 times and still same. People had this problem with 2016 touchbar models, and reported. Apple knew the issue. After a long period apple announced 2017 models the problem is still same. What did apple do to solve this problem??? i have been waiting to but a new MacBook Pro for 3 years and paid 3 times of my salary. Here is the result below. Thanks apple great machine

it is totally normal, I am on my 3rd display for my MacBook Pro 2017, Apple seem to just replace the display with the same known issues rather than address the the fact the hardware is not fit for purpose.

Hi , this is my second Macbook pro 2017 2.9 Ghz 512gb with same problem in 14 days. I will get another replacement for 3rd one now but what is gonna change Idk. I know some people who’s trying for 4th, 5th replacement. most macbook users are not aware of it. I think its very known issue with 2017 Macbooks but Apple don’t admit it.
