Dell Precision 5520 LCD issue

Hello,

I have a brand new Dell Precision 5520 and I noticed some dark shadows on both bottom sides of the screen, as shown in the pictures. I see them even if I change brightness or if I run the LCD built-in test.

Is it a screen issue?

Thanks.

Thanks. I've done all of that except connecting to an external monitor, as I don't have one, and I still see the issue.
