    I just received this computer over the holidays and noticed the screen is out of alignment. If I move the cursor all the way up, it stops about 3 pixels from the top. The very top row of pixels is light grey and the other two are black (Note: it is not light-leakage). It becomes an issue whenever I'm using a dark full-screen program (eg: watching video).

    I looked through all of the display properties and can't seem to find anything that would allow me to adjust the screen position/alignment and get rid of the problem.

    Does anyone know how to solve this or should I exchange it for a new one?

    -----EDIT------

    Wow!! So, it turns out this was an optical illusion. The supposed row of light grey pixels was actually light reflection off the inner rim of the glossy bezel... Why did they decide to use a glossy bezel when the rest of the laptop is matte? WHY!!!

    It tripped me out for a couple days. It wasn't until I tried to take a picture of it for this thread that I looked close enough to see the reality of it all.

    Maybe you can help me with my other screen issue.
