The backlight bleed looks a bit much if it's a full screen black.jpg image from an app like Paint. Acer has offered curved screen laptops in17.3" or even larger sizes. What is the full model number? For example, AN517-55?

Maybe you just got a lemon. If so, you should return it as defective to the vendor for an exchange or refund as soon as possible. Do it before the vendors return merchandise authorization (RMA) period expires. Usually only a few weeks. Warranty service will likely take longer and involve shipping.

Probably not a curved screen. What other problems are you having with the screen?

A possibility. But we're not Acer employees or technical service reps on these forums. Just other Acer users such as yourself. So we can't guarantee 100% one way or the other if it's a physical assembly defect.

If you're worried it might lead to other more serious problems, I suggest returning to the vendor as physically defective for a refund/exchange if the vendor's return merchandise authorization (RMA) period hasn't expired —- usually only a few weeks.
