    How bad is the light leakage on your Vaio SZ6 ???

    Please take part in this poll so we can see what kind of problem this is, and so people can judge whether their SZ screen is "normal" or not. I have attached some photos of light leakage so that you can evaluate yours on a scale (see below). These photos were, I believe, taken in a dark room.

    Choose from 1 to 5 as follows

    1 - no discernable light leakage
    2 - as in left hand photo "ok"
    3 - slightly worse than 2
    4 - slightly better than 5
    5 - as in right hand photo "bad"

    Thanks

    I don't have an SZ personally, but, if it was something that all SZ6's suffered from, I would find the left-hand image to be acceptable.

    I don't see a light leakage. Are you refering to the glow at the bottom?

    I have a small but acceptable amount of light leakage on mine. I don't ever notice it unless the screen is totally black.
