Yeah, it's one of the many flaws of this display.
Many flaws? Ok then. I bet you don’t have one or haven’t used one. But I bet you just love oled.
oh man, i must have missed it. all i've read is that there's blooming. i haven't read anything about the edges. makes sense though. it looks SO uniform that I feel like it must be intentional.
Here you go 🙃

2021 12.9 Screen Shadow
Noticed what looked like a drop shadow on my screen as soon as I powered it up. Thought it may just be how these new iPads are coming from the 10.5 Pro. Seems like it’s “a thing” Will keep an eye on things… https://www.reddit.com/r/iPadPro/comments/nhilss/ipad_pro_2021_129_inch_dim_around_edges/

It's one of the many "flaws" of the display technology that you people were quite literally drooling over before your iPad Pros arrived.
What’s your verdict? Is it a deal breaker for you? Personally never see it while using my iPad and don’t go looking for it either.
Not really. I don't notice it. I do notice the color uniformity more which I appreciate as I also own a oled samsung tablet and it color shifts.
Well, you lost 1 bet.
Why not downvote me on Reddit, might make you feel better about losing that bet.
Or here, another place for you to downvote!
Have You got any non fake over exposed videos and photos. 🤦♂️😂 millions of people are not seeing this in real life, nice try 😂
Yeah, I'm one of them... go figure.
Go get a job and get one yourself. You too will see it.
Folks, chill out. You're making more work for the moderators.

Agree, but these people spreading false information, turning people off buying one, who were generally interested in buying, is just simply wrong, the disappointing part of it all, most of these clowns have never seen or own one to begin with.Folks, chill out.

That’s the last time I’ll bring up this topic with these liars. I’m done
Agreed, so go hate on that post for doing the same in the opposite direction.
Lying about the issues doesn't make them go away.
Buyers remorse would be a more sensible response than denial, but whatever keeps you happy.
For those that only focus on the flaws, that is ok. If there are no good qualities that is one sided. For those that find the screen satisfies or enhances their use, that is great. For some there may be real issues and impact their usage. For many others the tradeoffs are fine. I am still unboxing my iPad 12.9 M1 as I type this and I am loving it.
I'm testing to see if blooming means anything. I know if I were to take a photo of the screen I can easily make it look like blooming, that is what a mobile camera will do. If you use a great Camera app like Pro Camera for manual controls and settings, or use a solid DSLR or mirrorless, the effect does not show up since it is capturing a non-boosted / less enhanced image.
As to they should have used OLED.....my neighbor is on their 3rd replacement screen on their OLED TV. So every technology has its issues. Which sinks or floats your boat.\
For everyone saying "meh, I'll wait". Then wait. Apple will survive. If a Galaxy Note is the greatest thing since sliced bread, then ok again.
For me, processing a 100mb photo for a client that blooms to 1 GB during processing, I'll take the 12.9 M1 iPad. For me, processing on site a 4K 20 minute video in 1/4 to 1/16 the time it took before, I'll take it. If it blooms when I turn all the lights out and watch a high contrast image....no issue. I don't do that. A few movie scenes and perhaps a text file with white text might be an issue. Wait...who types up black background text files with white type....why use that? Not what the eye wants to see.....
