    How much is acceptable in a screen.
    Received my XPS 1330 and it has more than the last one, which was only on the top. This appears some on the bottom, only when
    it is in black.
    Thanks

    If you are unsatisfied, get it replaced. Can't get any simpler.

    I've gotten three m1330's and all had some light leakage. If you can, you could ask for a return but I don't think you can avoid light leakage entirely

    Yup... it's not the screen that will get me but this vibration of the whole
    darn computer except touchpad and when I type.. funny it's not the fan.
    Weird.
