    Hi everyone. I'm not sure if this is normal. I have the P105-S6024, 17in. When the screen is all dark or black (like when it's booting up before the Windows logo or when I use a program like with Dead Pixel Buddy to paint it all black), I can see area near bottom edge is lighter. It looks like light is radiating out of it. It's lighter evenly though. Is this normal in notebook w/ those polish, true life or true bright screens? I have a Dell 15.4in w/ matte screen and I don't see it does this.

    It is normal in all lcd screens no matter what type. Can't remember off the top of my head what it is called atm.

    Yes, this is normal. The extra light "radiating" from the edge of the screen is simply backlight bleeding and occurs on most notebooks in varying degrees of severity. Post a picture of it if possible, so we can see if its really bad or not.

    If it looks anything like the bleeding on my P105-S9312 it isn't too bad at all. I can barely notice it most of the time. :D

    I have a desktop LCD and don't see this "light bleeding" effect. So bottom edge of the screen on your notebook is where they put the blacklight? I checked my Dell Inspiron and it does have same thing but not as obvious, maybe because the screen is matte. Also when the screen is on light color like blue, color at 2 lower corners seems to be darker. It's hard to know how bad this light bleeding/leakage is unless there's another laptop like it compare. Maybe I take it to the store to check this against their display model. Btw, there's one stuck pixel. It displays all colors fine except black. It stays clear or white when the screen is in black.
