    I turned my vista desk top back ground solid black - I can not detect any bulbs or bleed through - not even around the edges.

    Changed my desktop to solid white - light blue-light green-light grey. No bulbs-no bleed through. Get Dell to replace it.

    Definitely abnormal. Get a replacement. Dell should cross-ship out another refurb machine if you are within 30 days or so, otherwise they may send out someone to repair.
