    I bought a XPS 15z and noticed that there's a slight light colored halo around dark objects. For example - if I'm on photoshop/illustrator and I put a back shape on a gray background there will be a very faint but still noticeable lighter gray outline around the black shape. Is this normal with the display?

    Quick update - I spoke with tech support and they claim that the issue is with the truelife display. They said that the display is best for multimedia use and not for professional use. They will have a tech come in and replace the display with one which they claim is not a glossy (matte?) truelife display.

    I have the high end 15z, and they assured me that I'll be getting a different HD display. Anyone have experience with this?
