Apple Studio Display Distorted (image seems to bent out)

[espositopullo]

Hi everyone, I just got my Apple Studio Display delivered and I’ve noticed that the image is subtly distorted, almost like a fish eye effect.

It’s subtle but very noticeable. Basically the middle part seems closer to you while the edges seem farther away. The glass panel seems fine, it’s almost as if the LCD panel itself is slightly bent inside of the display.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

No issues here.

Go to this site https://www.eizo.be/monitor-test/ and view the first test. It should look like this:

The first test does look fine. But I don’t see how it will indicate if the LCD panel is slightly bent? The image still be the same, it’s just that you see a subtle distortion on the edges.

The grid pattern and border should help you see any distortion more easily.

If you see the panel itself is bent, I would contact Apple for a replacement.

If you’re sitting in the center the edges really are farther away. LCD displays have fixed from terry. It’s highly unlikely that the panel could be “bent” in any way. If you posted a picture would we see it?

Do you wear glasses? They can distort your view in this type of way. Particularly if you wear progressive bifocals.

Did you use a curved display before? If I do for a while, I also see that fish eye effect on flat screens until I get used to it again.
