    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone else was getting this or if my laptop lcd is defective? I have the high gamet matte display.

    Basically what happens is when the screen is on a black background, such as this.

    If you drag a window across it, or even your mouse I can see a trail of red ghosting left behind and it dissolves, its fairly noticable when watching movies. Do I have bad LCD or is this normal?

    hmm this happens on my big 46 in sony tv as well, but with gray. i was able to get rid of it by lowering the brightness in the settings. try using the nvidia or ati control panel to lower the brightness.

    Upon further testing, the area that it starts to ghost red seems to move around. Lowering brightness to zero, it still happens. If I tap on the back of the LCD lightly it seems to move the area where it ghosts red, sometimes shrinking/growing it. I sent an email to support so I guess we'll see what they think.

    I tried it with both LCD backlight to lowest setting, and then seperately the NVIDIA Panel Brightness to 0%, it still happens although much less noticable when the screen isn't as bright.

    We had this with a 95% screen, we sent ours back as faulty and we RMA'd the one we had, we caught it during testing so we were lucky that it didnt make it to our customer.

    I would RMA it

    I see. Thanks everyone for the input. So Pman, is the issue really with the 95% Gamut screen? Does it mean the screen has to be replaced?

    Thank you.

    We have only seen it once on a 95% screen and no amount of tinkering got rid of it entirely. This left us no choice but to return it to our supplier as faulty, after which we received a replacement screen

    Hope that helps

    I have similar problem on my 8150 with my 95% glossy.

    Is another thread about an 8130 user with similar issues.

    I think these are all related to the 95% screens and that more people have the issue than have posted and just maybe some can't see it as well or notice it to say anything.

    Some people see things better than others, just like some people can hear sounds that others cant, though thats prob a bad example lol.

    Anyway mine only does it on 3 sections of the screen.

    I just had to do an RMA for a GPU/Wifi card that Sager is mailing me, I hate the thought of having to send it in for a darn screen that may or may not come back worse or with dead pixels ect.. I may just live with it myself and accept my fate of bad luck.

    In the end it will depend how bad it is for you. Mines not too bad but does upset me for a so called upgraded screen.
