    Oye just found something else to bug me..

    I just noticed on the darker backgrounds on my 900p LED screen that there is a faint streak that's a shade lighter than whatever the background is.

    It's a thick and nonuniform line going horizontally in the upper right quadrant.

    Ok here's my best "artist rendition" of what it looks like, albeit slightly exaggerated/emphasized. Please note this isn't a problem with the physical screen (or outside part) but the monitor itself. When the monitor is off it is completely blank/black.

    At some angles, that pic is pretty dang accurate to what the problem looks like
