    Just got my 9300 and I really like it alot- got the UXGA "true life" and I like it a lot as far as brightness etc, but it is EXTREMEMLY "blotchy" especially on the bottom. I have noticable darkened spots that kind of "fan out" from the bottom- and pretty much all the way across the bottom. Has anyone else experienced this? It is kind of annoying on a new computer. Other than that I give it a solid 9 out of 10 for the money. And the keyboard is even better than I thought!

    Did you give the computer some time to adjust to the temperature in your home? I don't know where you are, but I have been told it's important to let it sit a while before firing it up.

    If so, you probably have a defective monitor. Send 'er back!
