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!

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:
I don't have any experience with these fixes, I've just heard people say it helped online.
