    Dell LCD blacklight issue?

    Is there a problem with Dell laptop screens having excessive blacklight leakage? A friend has an inspiron 6000 w/ 15.4" WVGA screen that appears much brighter at the very bottom, especially when viewing a DVD or screensaver.

    Dell CS have yet to reply to an email sent a few days ago.

    Dell monitors seem to have a higher incidence of backlight bleed than other monitors. If you do a search of the forum for 'blacklight' or 'blacklight bleed', I'm sure you'll find quite a few posts.

    Also can you run Belarc advisor and tell me what TFT panel is fitted to the laptop. Am curious to see if there's a pattern.

    Well in the end Dell just swapped out the LCD screen. Although said the problem was actually dark corners and that all 6000 screens are slightly bright. Quite frankly I'm not impressed with the quality of the 6000 screens, hope the 6400s are better.

    No idea of the make of panel, Belarc doesn't say as to Windows it just appears as a standard monitor (x3).
