    Hey folks. I think I noticed this when I got the computer. Anyways, let me describe a few things here:

    My LCD was made in 2009 according to HWiNFO. That'd be okay for late 2009, but it says week 1, 2009. That's insane! Also-

    The edges on the screen are fine except for around the top-right corner. About half an inch below the corner and to the very right side, there's a spot that looks like it's pinched or something. Like on a black screen, the part is lighter.
    Also, there's a spot near the top-right of the screen. It's a small dot, I guess light blue-ish. I see it in games, on the desktop, everywhere, so it's not just a one time deal. Not sure if it's a dead pixel or what, it looks like a bright blue spot, kinda holographic lookin'.

    I'm thinking about taking it to Best Buy tomorrow and seeing if they'll replace the screen since I'm under warranty. What do you think?
