    Hi, I have on first look great LG screen, but I noticed some issues with it. As you can see on the picture there is a darker area on right bottom on the screen:




    What's your suggestion? Is the reason enough for calling Dell service? Thanks in advance!

    Don't do it, unless you don't mind going through multiple repairs, just in case you get one of the Samsung's. I have one and it's horrible, I spend $1600 on a laptop that has a bluray player and it has screen quality like this. Unacceptable.

    Ok, finally, short and clear- question for most critic users- Is there any problem with lighting of my screen or it's normal (look at right bottom side). Please, give me your best! :) :)

    Personally I wouldnt worry about it if everything else is alright on your display such as general Picture Quality, Color accuracy etc. You will only see this shadow at the bottom sides with lighter colors anyway. Im using my IBM
    T43P here at work which has the high quality IPS flex view screen and it has the shadows at the bottom sides. ALso my Sony 17" at home has alittle bit of dark shadow at the bottom. Does not affect picture quality so Im not concerned about it.

    It depends. If you've owned a few laptops prior to this and this screen is noticeably poor for your standards, then yes go ahead and exchange it. It's difficult to show others imperfections on your LCD through pictures. I'm sure to all of us, we can't even see an issue with your screen.

    You paid for this product, if it is not to your satisfaction, then it is up to you to exert the energy to make it right. Only you can decide to take on that challenge. Most of us are saying don't bother because we know how hard it can be to get great screen from Dell.
