    I have had my NP8151-S since September of 2016. This spot has just recently appeared (3/3/2017) on my laptop for no apparent reason, its a yellowish spot that goes across the bottom of the screen and is REALLY noticeable when theres a white or greyish background present. I never seen this before. I'm not sure if it could be backlight bleed or IPS glow??? does anyone have any ideas?? Should I get my screen replaced?

    That is a picture of my screen taken with my phone, the spot on the bottom is VERY noticeable.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Did something recently get put on top of the computer that may have pressed down on the lid? It looks like the bottom part of the screen bezel might be applying pressure to the screen itself, possibly.

    If it still occurs with the bezel off the front (if that's something you feel comfortable doing) then it's panel damage.

    If I take off the bezel, do I have to wait a certain amount of time for the spots to fade? or if it doesnt fix when its off is it the screen screwed in too tight in the back?

    While it may take time to fully return to normal there should be a significant and instant change.

    I took off the bezel and that didnt really seem to do anything. I actually think I figured it out, its seems to be a liquid or moisture of some kind. I had my laptop in my carrying bag upside down and when I brought it out it was on the top, after about an hour it ended up back at the bottom of the screen again. What's so confusing to me is the idea that there could be moisture inside the screen. I haven't spilled anything on the laptop and I haven't purposely placed it somewhere moist. There are two instances recently that might have caused it but i'm not 100% sure if these are really plausible. The first would be when it was about 25 degrees Farenheit outside and I had it in my laptop bag, I was outside for about a good 10 minutes and the bag and the laptop were pretty cold, but before I had brought it outside I wasn't using it (at room temp). Then I took it into a car which was quite cold and it never warmed up in time before I brought it out again into the cold. Its last destination was a table in a warm room (probably 75+ Farenheit) and it was turned on and playing a video for about an hour and fifteen minutes. The other instance could have been when I brought it from my cold car into my home. To me, this makes the most sense on why its a liquid like orange/yellow spot thats moving. But if it really is moisture caused by the environment, the problem I have is, why isn't the LCD panel sealed well enough by the manufacturer to reduce or negate this? and how wouldn't have they assumed that sometimes it could be moved from a cold to warm environment?
