16" MBP uneven brightness

[bemol]

Hey,

I just got my new MacBook Pro today and I noticed a darker area in the screen, it's only noticeable when you have a white image on screen (like most forum webpages), besides that the screen looks amazing and I'm quite happy with the performance.
I was wondering if this kind of unevenness is normal or should I ask for a new unit?

I'm coming from a mid 2014 MBP and the white color in that one looked more even, so what do you think, is my screen alright?

Thank you for any advice, I'm just a bit concerned because this computer wasn't cheap and I want to be sure that my machine is working as intended.

No unheard of. There can be variance in screen color as well as back bleed. If you are not happy with it, by all means return it and get a new one.

Thanks for replaying, so this is expected and normal ?
I would think that it can be worse or better, but it would be like a lottery to get a perfectly even one (if that's possible at all) ?

That looks fine to me, or at least within spec.

No need to be concerned. Do you notice anything during normal use? If you do, it should show up a lot greater than that.

What, where? I don't see anything. In addition to that, when photographed from a different angle, it looks completely different again. Give it back if you don't like it, but don't expect another model to be better.

Yes, that's how they're making them now. The screens are worse than previous generations. From the entire lineup, they're the worst on the 16" according to this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/16-macbook-pro-ghosting-smearing.2212842/
