Apple Studio Display - dark lower corners?

I bought a Studio Display, to go with my M2 Mac mini, and was dismayed to find the lower corners had a 1cm radius darkening to both lower corners. Once it's seen, it can't be unseen.


(Exactly per the closed discussion Apple Studio Display: Dark shadows on the… - Apple Community)


I had it replaced, Apple was very helpful, and... same thing! On a £1,500 display!


It is like the display is being pinched in the corners.


My much cheaper and larger Sony TV has no such issue, nor has any display I've owned since a CRT monitor probably 30 years ago.


Am I super unlucky - or is this what Studio Displays do? It is running the latest firmware.


Is there a fix? A Tip?

I have just been on the phone with Apple Support who tell me that Studio Displays are not faulty if they have dark corners.


He said his did.


He did not disagree when I suggested he was saying they are designed that way.


He also suggested it was only an optical illusion.


When I questioned that, the guy put the phone down on me.
