    Hi, I've noticed some signal problems in the integrated 1920x1080 panel, like a vertical phantom... Is this normal?
    I've tested running on batteries and with both graphics (intel and nvidia). I can see it only when using max brightness.

    Sorry for the quality, but if you pay atention you'll see that over the window there's some vertical lines corresponding to places in the window with red fonts, if I move the window the vertical lines move with them. It suuuuucks, I guess this isn't normal, please confirm so I can go to sony style and ask for a new screen or something.

    Sounds related to this problem. If it is the same problem, then there's a good chance that's just the way the screen is.

    Thanks, it seems like the same problem but horizontal instead of vertical, and with black instead of red fonts xD.

    I'll check the showroom and see if they have the same problem...
