    Hi chaaand,

    What do you mean by dark patches? Can we have a screenshot or a more verbose explanation?

    I don't remember any dark patches with the 3 SZs which have gone through my hands...

    Oh wait,

    Can you tell us whether you're using premium or basic?

    a screen capture probably won't help will it? since it sounds like a problem with the lcd, not the signal the machine is sending to it

    Dark corners are very common with Dell and various other LCD's. And from everything I read here on the forums, Sony seems to be slowly downgrading the LCD quality on most of their models. I saw a TX in a store recently that had one of the worst LCD's I think i've ever seen as far as the dark corners and uneven lighting. It's hit and miss.
