    I've got the same on mine - a lighter streak running across the bottom of the screen. I can only notice is if the screen is black. I didn't really think it was an issue at all until I spotted this post!

    My LG WXGA (1280 x 800) is almost look like yours. The LCD lamp is located at the bottom of the screen, so I think it’s normal that you will get bit backlight bleeding. For comparison, LG screen is a lot brighter than equivalent Samsung screen.

    No doubt that there are LCDs (higher quality) that have zero bleeding such as Sony FZ.

    As long you get non-grainy screen, you should be happy.

    Was in John Lewis today (a UK department store), and checked out the laptop displays from numerous labels with this thread in mind. Some slight bleeding at the bottom of the screen was pretty widespread.

    Believe me, I have goes to many stores and have seen many screens- this is NOT normal for mid to high range laptop screen to have such a big bleedeng. Of course, the lamp is at bottom, but the light leakage is not only there its across the screen in many times and positions on it. God, my 5 year ViewSonic VX24 doesnt has any kind of bleedeng, exept very thiny light leakage at bottom and one at top of the screen, where are positions of the two lamps, in the center is full black, which is absolutely normal screen for me.

    Here is my screen. Seems to look a tad worse on camera.

    If I go through the hassle of getting a replacement, what are the chances I'll get a worse screen?

    It's just similar like mine. From opinions I heard here it seems that the chance for worse display is not little...yours is LG, right?
