Hello before I post I am well aware that this may sound like an odd or silly question. However, I don't know much about displays and would like some peace of mind.
I recently got a laptop from a friend and installed Ubuntu on it to use as a junk computer to play games and watch movies on. However, the screen started to bother my eyes and the way it looked was sort of unfamiliar to past computer monitors I've used in the past. It looks very bright and colors looked washed out. When looking at either side of the screen with the color black pulled up on the sides, it looks sort of white'ish.
Is this normal for a laptop computer monitor and is it defective? Will this negatively affect the health of my eyes?
Here is the laptop brand and model: ASUS R500VJ-MH71 15.6" Laptop
And here are some pictures of the washed out screen:
