    thats quite bad, I would personally complain about it. however light bleed IS within industry standard (but I dont know how much is classed as "within standard"), and if it was just a small 5mm line of light I would say foget about it (esp if you dont see it in Windows/Linux).

    But thats quite a bit! Do you see it when in Wondows/Linux? Or only at bootup?

    I already complained. I sent them an email with the problem because it was too late to call them or chat with them.

    This was when using a blank screensaver in vista. The viewing angles are bad too. When im looking directly at my screen i can see clearly that the bottom has less contrast than the top.
