2022 Macbook Air backlight bleed

I noticed pretty soon after purchasing this that the backlight is very noticeable especially in dark conditions. Is this normal? It is on half brightness. Also, increasing the brightness from about 6 to 10 and beyond puts a heavy blue "film" over the image. I am not a screen expert I just didn't know what to expect as this is my first mac. Thank you.




MacBook Air, macOS 15.3

That is not the backlight bleeding.....at least it is not a hardware issue.


The lighter bands around the central video is from the software not masking out those areas with pure black when the video is not able to fill the entire screen.
