    Hi,

    I have this laptop and I have noticed that when the screen is dark [like the 3D text screensaver], I can see dark bars on the top and bottom and a dark line [depending upon the angle] on the screen. I don't notice a whole lot of bleeding when something is playing but you can clearly see the difference there.


    I assume that this is primarily due to uneven backlighting, but sony is ademant that it is the display drivers. I reinstalled them but that is not the issue.

    My question is if I ignore it, will it become a bigger problem in the future? This laptop is from january this year and I believe it shouldn't have this problem.

    Also, is enhanced content feature only for blu ray dvds as I have gotten errors and program crashes for regular dvds.
