    For the SZ160 LCD screen---
    I noticed that there are dark shades on the bottom left corner and bottom right corner ---while displaying full screen colour of white or red or green or blue.

    The shades become more visible as you lower the brightness levels.




    However, this shades doesn't show up in the FE series!
    May be due to the dual lamp design.

    Are all ultra portables has this kind of shades at bottom corners?

    You may be seeing an uneven lighting pattern that is evident in almost every LCD panel, regardless of brand, due to the nature of backlighting from the sides... Some screens show this easier than others...

    Yes, you are right.
    As I move around, the shades appears differently.
    BTW, the shades is less noticeable in SZ120.
    Moreover, the FE series 's backlight/display is very even-- no notice any shades at the bottom.
