It's noticable in both pictures.
It's been a minute since I had my 2KXL apart cause my guy has it, but I'm wondering if there isn't enough room for a 5" light vs a 4" light?
Might help avoid this.
nah the 4" just fit theres no way you could fit a 5" unless you moded the whole screen assembly. but honestly its just a bit brighter at the bottom (where the backlight is located) but it was like this already with the stock backlight so its not really a problem, the camera is making it look bad, because you can barely see
any difference in brightness with the human eye
