I bought a brand new acer swift 3 a few days ago and right out of the box I notice some screen bleeding on the top left and right-hand corners. I was just wondering if this was normal or if I should take the laptop back / get it repaired.

    Light bleeding is considered normal for IPS displays, according to manufacturers. The light bleed on your screen doesn't look very bad(I have about the same amount on my device too, maybe a little less). It will always be noticable in darker backgrounds, but most importantly it should be barely noticable or not present, while watching movies. 

    If you feel uncomfortable with the amount of bleeding, you can contact your retailer and ask for a replacement, if you are still within the test period. Mind that it is not guaranteed that the new device will have less bleeding, it is even possible to have more. Don't contact Acer, as they will ask for your device to be serviced and no one likes his/her device to be serviced from day 1 =) . Even you choose Acer to replace the screen of your device, it is still no guaranteed that the new screen will have less bleeding.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
