Dimming on edges of screen (new 14/16 inch)

[TheSynchronizer]

Let me just begin with the fact that this isn’t really a defect, but rather a limitation of the way these screens are designed so essentially all of these new macbooks will have it. The same ’issue’ can be seen on 12.9 iPad screens.

Im curious: Have you noticed the slight dimming around the edges of the screen, and, if so, does it bother you?

Have the same. It's normal for this and other lcd screens. It bothers me mostly for test screens, like Eizo test .

I’ve had so many bleedy, uneven LCD displays in my life that slight dimming around the edges is a heaven send compared to the various screens i’ve been through.

I’m not bothered at all but I know some people may think it’s some sort of defect and go through returns just to get the same result again - hopefully if they find this thread in searches that’ll save them the trouble

Those people will also think blooming on a fald screen is a defect. They should check their lcd desktop monitor how does it look .

Vignette effect is not nice but color tints are much more annoying. Many lcds have bad color and brightness uniformity.

Had my mac about 5 months but only just noticed it. It doesn't affect me and doesnt really bother me, it would annoy me if I was a professional video or image editor. It would be nice if it wasn't there.

Just got a used M1 Pro in mint condition and noticed this, too. I don't know if it bothers me, yet, but considering I'm coming from a 2017 MacBook Pro with discolored screen areas, I don't mind too much, I understand it is because of the mini LED, but it really is obvious with certain colors and wallpapers. The Ventura wallpaper makes the dimmer edges and corners especially visible.
Still a solid screen though. Considering I had my old screen replaced twice and it still couldn't hold up I'm more than happy with this new technology. If this remains the only drawback, ill learn to live with it.
