    Hey guys, just got my 1530 today. Seems good, except I'm wondering if it's normal to have so much light bleed through at the bottom of the screen. I've only noticed it when the screen is black, it looks good otherwise, but it seems fairly noticeable like when i'm rebooting.

    I'll let you know when I get mine...night be a wihile though. How is the screen? Any graininess?

    By the way can you post a picture with the lights off (in the darkness) of the screen? I want to see how much bleeding your talking about. I'll compare it to my 20" Dell Ultrasharp which bleeds a little.

    However, it seems as though the bleed through at the bottom is massive.

    at full brightness it does seem to have quite a bit of bleed.

    Yeah, its really a natural occurrence to have bleed when the entire screen is black to any kind of degree. Its just the way the lighting technology is. As long as it is not noticeable when using the actual OS, you should be fine.
