There is backlight bleed on my A717-71G. Its noticeable on dark screen.
Is this for RMA? especially noticeable in upper right part.

    It doesn't look very much. For sure, you can return it back to the retailer you purchased it from(if you are within the return policy) or contact Acer. Light bleed is very common for IPS displays and it is quite likely the next laptop to have the same amount or more light bleed than the one you currently have.
    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.

    Compared to A517-51G with exactly same screen panel, its a lot of backlight bleed.
    This is the A517-51G screen:

    The phone camera sometimes overexaggerates.
