    So my laptop screen, along the left edges of it, there appears to be a little air bubble. I didn't knwo it was possible since I thought that all laptop screens were SEALED, but there is this elevated bubble. However, when i push down on it, nothing happens. I'm not too sure how to proceed at this point... does anybody have any idea what it is?

    Do you mean like at the very edge the Truelife coating is starting to delaminate?

    Have you had the laptop in any hot situations? In a car, etc?

    Just a thought before you send it back -

    Soft towel, slightly moistened, see if it goes away.

    In my experience with truelife-type screens is that oil stains look like bubbles, specifically the "delamination" you describe.

    Regards,

    It is an LG screen, i'm thinking it MIGHT be condensation going on int ehre as there are tiny water droplets, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence of evaporation
