Hi all,

I bought a Macbook Pro 2015 13' from the refurbished store 3 weeks ago and I'm loving it! it's my first mac and as a web developer, it is life changing.

The only thing that annoys me a bit is the light bleed that I can notice in a dark environment. I have an Asus laptop with a decent display that has no backlight bleed at all, and it obviously cost me a lot less than a mac when I bought it a few years ago. I had an appointment at an Apple store and the genius told me I could get a screen replacement if I wanted. It couldn't tell me if it was a common problem with 2015 macbook pros though.

Here's a picture of my screen:

I've read horror stories with people getting a worse screen than before after going through a screen replacement (image retention, yellow tint etc). Do you think I could get a screen that's worst? Or is a screen replacement worth it?

I know I'm complaining for something that's not a big deal, but I thought by investing in Apple, I would get a flawless product with a perfect screen.

Thanks for your suggestions
