Sir, I bought an HP Victus 15 laptop a week ago. It had a backlight bleeding issue, but I ignored it. However, it seems to be gradually increasing. I purchased this laptop to complete my academic work as I am preparing to enter university. But this issue has caused me a lot of stress and worry. The main reason is that I am a student facing significant financial difficulties. I sincerely request your help in resolving this problem.

Hi @Lakshankm,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your laptop!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Adjust Display Settings
Reduce brightness: Lower brightness to 40-60%, as higher brightness increases backlight bleed.
Enable dark mode in Windows & apps.
Adjust contrast settings:
Right-click on the desktop → Display settings.
Go to HDR & advanced color settings.
Adjust contrast to minimize visibility of the issue.
Check for Display Driver Issues
Sometimes, incorrect drivers can cause uneven brightness issues:
Open Device Manager (Press Win + X, then select Device Manager).
Expand Display Adapters and Monitors.
Right-click on your GPU (e.g., NVIDIA RTX 3050) and select Update driver → Search automatically.
Update monitor drivers under the Monitors section.
Check Windows Night Light & Color Profiles
Go to Settings → System → Display.
Under Night Light, toggle it on/off to see if it reduces the issue.
In Color Management, ensure the correct display profile is selected.
Run HP Hardware Diagnostics
Restart your laptop and press F2 repeatedly before the HP logo appears.
Select Component Tests → Display Test.
Let me know how it goes.
