    Hey!
    I have a Clevo P150HM with the AUO B156HW01 v4. The screen is without a doubt the best I've ever seen on a laptop with a TN panel, except for one point, backlight bleeding! Have a look here:
    Horrible backlight bleeding (looks even worse irl)
    Is it normal with this much backlight bleeding on this screen model or is it faulty? (And if so can the warranty cover getting the screen replaced by the dealer?)

    Bought it less than 2 months ago and even if I'm aware that blb is a problem on TN-panels it really doesn't feel like there should be this much on this screen model... :(

    That looks fine to me.

    I'm RMA'ing my laptop for this now though.
    This is 4th bad LCD on my NP8150 I'm dealing with...

    That looks pretty normal to me for a TN panel. You have to remember, backlight bleed will always look the worst on a solid black screen. How does it look in normal usage on anything else?

    Thanks for the feedback guys.
    Yikes, that doesn't look good 4st3risk :eek: Hope it turns out right the 5th time around!

    It's only visable on solid black screens, maybe I just got spoiled getting used to my old VA-panel, guess I'll have to learn to live with it. Atleast color and brightness-wise the screen is awesome(after calibration ofc) :)

    I notice the bleeding seems to be most obvious on the bottom and the right...and what is the orange light along the upper right of the screen?

    I wonder if it might be installed just slightly off center to the left. A small adjustment might correct it.

    However if it only shows on a black background...I would imagine it would be pretty easy to get used to.

    The bleeding at the bottom is by far the worst, but as said, I guess I just have to get used to it...

    The orange light on the right side is just the light from a lamp reflecting on the screen bezel :)
