    I have P25 toshiba P4-3G HT, red color at the top of LCD case.
    When I use notebook, the color and display cannot performs well, some blur all over the screen. I guess the LCD is problem but because it can be display the Windows, I think it's not. And I plug the VGA out to the monitor, the display performs well. I check all the cable,even change to my friend's P25 LCD also the problem still appears, anyone can help how to diagnose?is it Toshiba P25 hardware bug? My other (3rd friend) also having same problem. :(
    Thanks very mucho...

    maybe you aren't running the LCD in its native resolution? check what the specifications say and switch to that res. LCDs only have clear images if they're used in the resolution they're made for.

    if all else fails, call support.

    Since the video works fine on an external monitor, it shows that the video card is working fine, so you have an issue with the LCD. You need to get it replaced.

    Thanks for the reply :)
    I have other unit to compare which is my friend's problem is mainboard, so I replace the LCD which is claimed working well for the LCD. So I get confused between cable flexy from LCD to mainboard also replaced. I still got stuck. What else I should diagnose?
    And also my other friend (3rd) has the same problem with me. Is it the hardware bug or P25 with red color case?
    Thanks for the discussion, and I appreciate.
