Hey All, I got the new IPP 11" M1 yesterday and so far I love it. I went on reddit and noticed people talking about screen uniformity, darker corners on a full white screen. I decided to take pics of my screen from different angles and straight on, and I see these really faint streaks on the screen in some photos.

Do photos show actual problems screens have? Or do they "make up" problems that aren't really there? Maybe due to the exposure/iphone digital processing? In-person my screen looks perfect and uniform when looking straight on or even on a slight angle. If I tilt my viewing angle a lot, I sort of can see very slight streaks like in the photos but I'd never use it that way. I'm trying to figure out if this is OK/normal, or should I return it? I'm just worried if I return it I'd find the same thing and start the screen lottery thing everyone talks about. Is my screen OK/acceptable? Thanks in advance!
Here is a photo of mine, wondering if it’s normal as well. Top right corner (where volume and lock button is) and bottom right is darker than left side

The problem is you are asking people to judge your screen based off a photo of your screen you have taken on a mobile phone, which they are then viewing on another phone or computer screen. It’s never going to end in roses. If it looks ok to you, then it’s ok.

Do you see the cloudiness in person or does the photo make it worse? That’s the question ultimately. A lot of people on here will answer about their own experience from memory, but don’t take photos themselves to see how it really looks

Take a photo if yours, you’ll notice it won’t look good like it does in person ;)

agreed but it still doesn’t exhibit those issues even that being the case lol

I got a keeper

Hi guys, I’m looking for a way to test the uneven brightness to ask for an exchange of my iPad Pro M1, I can see it clearly, but I took it to a Genius Bar and they said they couldn’t see it there, any tips for troubleshooting or testing?
