    Hi, I was wondering if anyone noticed a white light on the right side of the monitor. It is only seen if viewed from an angle on the left side of the monitor and the light is very bright (source light). I've noticed it on my M50SV and my brother's Dell, but not on my U6... any concerns or no?

    What you're seeing is the CCFL fluorescent tube for the backlight, or the reflective surface that directs light across the LCD (I forget which side the M50 has it installed).

    The U6 is LED backlit, so it won't be there.

    No worse for you than looking at any other light directly :).
