    Hi, I just bought a Toshiba Tecra A7-112 and the laptop is very nice, everything works ok but, as I never had before a laptop with Trubrite (or similar) techology I noticed some kind of stains on all its LCD surface, which seem to appear under its shiny layer. These stains are more visible when there is a uniform color on the LCD, like blue or green. They are even more visible if I duck a little and look at my screen.

    Is this a problem with my laptop or this is a common issue with the Trubrite technology?

    Thanks!

    hmmm... i think u r refering to sparkle effect. it seems most screen today has this kind of defect, how come technology get worse not better?

    anyway... the story is; most famous and one of the first i heard that has this issue is the dell inspiron series with trulife(glossy coating) the screen would have this horrible "glint" on its surface and also a sort of ripple effect... the same effect when u spary watter on ur tv (wheter it be CRT, LCD or plasma) it should mimic what the sparkle issue is about.
    the problem is getting worse. even the successor to the great VAIO A-series laptop -the VAIO AR- has the same issue, it sparkle and ripple, even has a light leakage on the bottom. the qosmio g30 (1920x1280 HD-DVD edition) seems to have the sparkle issue as well, but is very minute compared to the others.

    i hope laptop manufacturer would fix this screen issue... along with the laptop heat issue :p pronto! let just hope next year all will be alright, as windows vista and the new centrino platform comes out; most laptop manufacturer (i predict) will renew most, if not all their laptop line.
