Thats a side effect of the 1000+ dimming zones no? I snagged this ASUS ProArt display that was Professional Grade on eBay and among its many flaws is that its 1000+ dimming zones result in blooming whenever you have bright items on top of a complete black background. Makes it terrible for horror movies. :/

Yes. What I've never understood is why Apple, when they looked at it in prototype, didn't just adapt a color profile that latched black a few values higher (basically the opposite of crushing blacks). It would have meant the display would have had slightly worse blacks, but at least they would have been uniform. If Jobs had seen this display he would have thrown the device, and perhaps the designer, straight out of a window.

I had the same experience but to be fair, you only notice this in complete dark rooms. Which is a fringe scenario.

You know what you also only notice in very dark rooms? Super high contrast ratios. So the feature fails in the one situation in which it could make a positive contribution.

It is visible even in daylight.

In practice you will hardly ever notice this. Especially not during normal use. Maybe only during videos.
