    has anyone noticed dark verticle streaks at the bottom on their sz premium screens? On mine, it only really shows up when the brightness is turned all the way down. If it's set at max I can't see them at all and at 4 bars its only slightly noticeable. Zero bars its really an eyesore which sucks because at that level I noticed the battery life increase dramatically. If I send it in is sony gonna replace it with a ghetto screen or what?

    I also noticed the touchpad can be unresponsive sometimes. Anyone else have any issues with this?

    Don't the premium screens have LED backlighting as opposed to the regular 'ole lamps in the non-premium? If so, that's kind of unusual and also bad. I'd definitely get in touch with Sony.

    Oh, and I have an SZ120 whose trackpad went almost completely dead after 4 months.
