Guys want to seek your opinions. I purchased a surface book 2 15inch 256gb model from Microsoft official store. Till now everything is perfect, except that I see the backlight bleeding under some test conditions:

100% brightness in a dark room, top right corner and left bottom corner I can see the backlight bleed. Under normal usage scenarios I usually don't notice them, unless I was sleeping on my bed looking at the tablet in at late night.

I'm not sure how common this is on sb2. Should I return it? Just concerned that if I do the replacement, the backlight bleeding might be worse on the next unit.

Bad LCD display.

Paid so much expensive still like a common china made quality only.

On low brightness still see bleeding, but magnitude is much less noticible. Still hesitant whether or not to return this unit.. Haiz, expensive but so so QC

Microsoft surface Support.
Do an online chat with them, send the pictures to them. Get a ticket. Get a refurbished SB2.

There's no specific distinction of local sets / overseas sets for Surface devices. I did a exchange for a US unit with a Refurb local unit once.
