    Open up notepad or go to google.com (fill your screen with whitespace).

    If you can't see it then (the splotchy, oily, sandy, etc that is graininess), then you don't have it. :D

    You know those little holographic gift cards that change when you look at them from different angles? You know how they have that weird shimmer to them? That's kind of what it looks like.

    LOL.

    Coming from someone with ongoing issues awaisuk, stop looking and enjoy the laptop. If you cannot see it, why does it matter.

    You mean dead pixels?
    Or do you need to wipe dust off your screen?
