    Hi,

    I must admit that there are the diagonal lines that appear on the vaio Z when the laptop moves or just for no reason. It's very fine, but obviously there has been alot of discussion about it. Every Z (or 95%) of them I have viewed (about 10) have this issue and I can truly see it. I saw it before I read these forums and was like "what is this?" Well, how can I make this phenomenon not bother me, b/c it seems like it's not constantly being brought up in these forums anymore.

    I feel it detracts from my enjoyment such that I want to sell the Z which I just got. Is there a way to unlearn what I've already seen? I guess do you really stop noticing it after time?

    Yep. It bothered me quite a lot on the beginning but not anymore. They are visible just on specific color background. Also playing with color profiles helped me a bit. If you wouldn't write about it, I wouldn't notice, they're still visible.

    I guess every VAIO's LED-backlit screen has those lines. I don't care anymore. The quality of the screen is so good, so I can live with lines which are practically invisible for me now.

    I believe it's not because of the LED (my TX doesn't have this problem), but because of the fancy matte like screen. Don't get my wrong, I love the matte screen, so much better than the glossy one on TX...

    I've actually never noticed the diagonal lines until I read about this just yesterday. It's present on mine but just barely. Maybe because I turned the backlighting so low that made it less noticable, I had to crank up the backlighting to see the diagonal lines. Fortunately I'm not too bothered with it, sorry to hear that you're selling it.
