Studio Display light leak (bright spot)

My Studio Display seems to have a brighter area at the bottom. Would you consider this within reason or should I contact Apple Care for repair/replacement?

I am using it for color sensitive work (photo editing and grading).

This is absolutely a defect and should be replaced. If you're within your 14 day return window and can swing it, I'd buy another and return this one. Otherwise I'd get on the phone with AppleCare.

Unfortunately, I'm outside that window since it took me a while to find the time to set everything up and I also did not notice this at first. I will contact Apple Care about this. Thanks!
