Is my screen defective?

I just bought an HP dv2020ca (roughly equivalent to the dv2000t) a couple days ago, and I'm concerned about the screen.

When I push lightly on the edge of the lid (as if I were opening or closing the lid) There's a little spot near the top that 'ripples' as if I'm pressing the back of the screen. The spot is about 1cm in diameter.

Is this something I should be concerned about? I don't see any problem when I'm just viewing normally and not touching the screen, only when I push on the edge of the lid.

 

is that 1cm spot ALWAYS where you touch the laptop?

regardless, that is happening because you are putting pressure on the lid. if it takes so little force to do that, you definitely have a screen that isn't solidly built. good laptop builds usually require a large amount of force to get that effect.

 

Yes. always in the exact same spot no matter where I push on the laptop. Even when I'm not pushing the screen itself, just the 'border' on the outside of the lid. Maybe I'll take it back to the dude I bought it from and ask about this.

It doesn't really bother me now... but what if it gets worse? Or if it's a sign that the screen isn't built properly?

grrr... has anyone else experienced this issue with their HPs? Mine's a QDS screen.

 

me too i also had this problem~~ ~~ i think ~~ there must had a chip or something~~~

 

it isn't the screen that is the problem. they all will do that if you press on them. it is the LCD housing (aka your laptop lid) that isn't solid enough.

kind of like wrapping glass ware with a piece of notebook paper when you should be using bubble wrap. nothing is wrong with the glass, but it might break without the right wrapping material. bad analogy, but you get the idea
