Hey guys,

After multiple years with DELL I have decided to switch to razerblade as I have always liked the macbook pro build quality (unfortunately for my type of work I need a windows machine).

I just got the machine yesterday, razer blade 17 i7 10875h with rtx 3070 and qhd 165hz, early impressions: it really feels like a macbook pro in terms of build quality, also after running a couple of stress tests, cpu temps always below 80 degrees and gpu under 70, run a couple of games, like metro exodus and call of duty warzone and even with rtx at med-high on 1440p it runs at 60 fps.


Big downside of this machine it is the screen, really dimm (barely 270nits) and mine it came with some insane backlight bleed and some color shifting problems, contacted razer support and they say I need to wait 2 weeks for a replacement unit, that kind of sucks after spending so much money on it (living in Ireland btw).

Is it worth waiting and getting a new unit? is the screen a usual problem in razer blade laptops? or should I just return it and get the refund?

Is this normal with Razer blade laptops screens?

Backlight bleed is normal on ips panel, but it depends how bad it’s when you’re using it on normal use case if it’s noticeable/annoying or not, though color shift and low brightness level aren’t acceptable on such premium pro device imo, advanced 15 2018 FHD is around 300 nits and has great color accuracy pretty weird if 2021 device and higher resolution has lower nits, did you also check windows screen setting if there’s maybe some setting to toggle on/off to make it better?
