    I've just noticed the bottom part of my screen gets really warm, from the dell logo up about an inch or two, then it gets cool to the touch, my desktop lcd stays cool over the entire screen, is this normal?

    I think it is normal on the larger screens. Mine is usually very warm. If you remove the bezel, you'll see all of the LCD wiring and parts right under the dell logo.

    it's hot because there is a "lightbulb" there powering your LCD.

    the older LCDS dont generate that much heat as these do and its normal anyways and plus each laptop has a different LCD manfacturer all laptops are designed differently mostly all of dells LCDS are the same design from 2003 and ^

    I think that area is usually quite warm but I think the hottest area is the HD area under the laptop , mine usually gets hot even under normal usage

    Yep pretty much. Its going to be hot and there really isn't nothing you can do about it. I don't think it causes any damage.

    Hakuna Matata! There's nothing you can do about it and it normal. The hottest places elseware on my notebook at the Ram door and the most of the right edge. Because the HDD and GPU are fairly close together in there.
