Default Light Bleed

I know it's probably been addressed before but I was hoping for some kind of explanation to the lightbleed? on my TF700T. I question it because I ONLY notice it at the initial boot screen - when the "2nd" bootscreen comes (when the display dims), no bleed - Also, no bleed when on a black screen, watching movies, etc - nothing. Is the initial boot screen just set at an amazingly high backlight that absolutely any tablet (at least any TF700s) would experience this? Perhaps there is an alternate bootscreen I could install and test? I am rooted...

thanks for the advice

PS - I HIGHLY doubt anyone would return theirs for this

Do you mean the two spots on the right side, or do you mean bleeding out from other places? I have light bleed sometimes on the right side but it goes away after a minute or so. Like it has to "warm up" or something.

no, not really - at the initial boot screen, I notice it on all sides but mostly lower left around the "home" icons-when it appears - after the initial boot, it's pretty much gone - I am thinking that the boot up for some reason is set to such a ridiculously high brightness that 0 bleed (if it is even that) is impossible. Can you post a pic of yours during initial boot or a video?

I think its normal.. my original prime had the light bleeds near home buttons too. I happened to have one of those from best buys first batch the sent in plastic no bubble wrap mailers so it had a dent on the box on the same side the light bleed was the strongest. But so far of the two inifinitys ive opened up at Best Buy, light bleed was in the exact same places.

The teardown from the Prime showed that it is caused by the screws holding the screen in being too tight. If you take it apart you can fix the light bleed spots by adjusting these screws.

I have the same lightbleed on a bottom of my screen (at 3-4 spots) going to the right side as well (1-2 spot). They all gone on the 2nd boot screen. Do you think that this will decrease the life of the screen?
Also I have notice something else and I really not sure what is causing this. I have setup brightness to about 30%, then If I start watching anything (Netfilx, YouTube or movie) my screen is start adjusting (change brightness up and down) like Auto Brightness options is checked, especially when it has a white (or very bright) background color. It is very annoying and very distracting for you eyes. Never happen on my Prime.
Does anyone have experienced the same problem? Any idea how to fix this are very much appreciated.
Thanks

Regarding your second issue that is a known "feature" called Dynamic Contrast.

Quoting the All in one Infinity Guide stickied in the General Forum:

[ Q ] My screen constantly adjusts brightness even if auto-brightness is disabled
Yes,that is a "feature" called Dynamic Contrast but not all of us like it.Follow the directions from this post to disable but keep in mind that your device must be rooted.
Transformer Infinity 32Gb - JB 4.1.1

Thanks for clarification. I thought that something is wrong with the tablet. It is look like that I have to take the root solution.

I have what sounds like the exact same lightbleed locations. If I watch something late at night with all the lights off it is very apparent.
I don't think it decreases the life of the screen, my TF Prime had much less lightbleed, but it never expanded or anything.
