    hey guys,

    i have a white spot on the bottom right on my screen, and it looks like a splatter, it's only visible when the screen is completely black, or when windows is first loading up the welcome screen. Is there any way to fix this?

    You mean like inside the screen? Could be a press mark. The light diffuser part of the screen can easily be damaged by pressing on it or if it is opened up by scratching the back. It shows up as white marks when displaying some things. There is no fix except to get a new screen if it bothers you too much.

    I think, it's actually something with the welcome screen only, you know the welcome screen, the bottom right, is there a tint ish light, that's like blotches that occur for you too?

    Yeah. It is only visible under some circumstances. It is just like how you say of blotches of where the pixels are lighter.

    It's the HP logo on the other side of the screen. Shouldn't be a problem under regular use though.

    This. For some reason some people have seemed bothered by it but it can only be seen with the logo on and the screen's backlight off. I can't even imagine a situation where it would be annoying.
