    just read that someone recieved there M17x today (10th) from the states, and i was woundering if the new screens have no bleeding or is he just lucky? as previous to this hold up on the out of stock screens everyone had some bleed, but he said he has zero! Makes me speculate about them perhaps holding out shipping more due to the complaints on the screens?
    thnx in advance :eek:

    whether new screens or old screens, there will never be such a screen that is lcd and completely without bleed. They are mass produced and only quickly checked for power on/power off and depending on the manufacture some may do a quick pixel test. Pulling a screen with very little bleed like i did that is not noticable once everything boots up is the best anyone can hope for or luck out for, depending on the point of view.
