    Hi, I just got a Toshiba Satelite P100-MA3 with a 17" screen and I've noticed something wierd with the screen. Whenever Windows loads and the screen is all black, I noticed that in the middle of the screen there would be a big white patch its really noticable and annoying. So anyways, I changed the windows background to just black and I notice it there too, anyways, this big patch about the size of my fist is always there when there is a black background, but its not noticable when there is another colour on the screen, is this something that happens with all laptop screens, or did I get a lemon? If anyone know's about this problem or can check for me by changing their background to black, it'd be very appreciated. It would be great if you can post it ASAP so I can know to return the laptop for another one if there's a problem with it.

    Thank you.

    no it doesnt happen to everyone, sounds like a problem with ur LCD panel, dead pixels or stuck pixels. u shud get it replaced.
