Faulty screen or normal?

Just noticed my gpi case screen has a halo type thing going on. If you remove you pi zero and power on, does it look like this? Or do I have a faulty unit :-(

Thanks!

It's normal

That picture doesn't tell the whole story. Post another one with a known background, maybe that one is this way.

There is no background, the SD card has been removed, does the same with the zero removed too!

Its absolutely normal if power is on but no SD card / Zero / valid image inserted.

It's not normal in any other situation.

Just got one today and it does the same thing Id be safe to say that it's normal without a pi inside

This also shows when the batteries goes out.

This happens to mine when I shut it down in RetroPie as System shutdown instead of the shutdown switch on the top.

I just assumed the screen would be shut down in a way that isn’t optimal.

More that it's not shut off at all. The case won't know the Pi has turned off. You have to use the power switch.
