    I'm running the standard 1280x800 screen and have noticed quite a bit
    of backlight bleed. It is only visible on the bottom edge. For normal web
    surfing, etc., this is not a problem, but when viewing DVDs with black
    borders, I find it distracting.

    Anyone else notice the same thing? I was going to call Hp about it, but
    if they all have the same problem, I guess there's no point in sending it
    in for exchange, etc.
