My laptop lcd has a fuzzy spot only noticable on dark backgrounds

Dark fuzzy spot on solid black or dark grey background in middle of lcd screen on my laptop. Barely noticalbe except on boot up (when screen is black) but since I know its there I'm always looking for it, I'm frustrated that its there since i just bought this computer. It doesn't alter display in anyway during normal usage. Its under warrenty but I am upset that I have to send it all the way back to manufacture and be w/o a computer for 2 weeks. :(

Sounds to me like you have a dead pixel or one that has lost some of it's brightness. The smartest thing you can do is return it.

If you bought it from any retail store...take it directly to them...call the manufacturer and inquire about a faster turn around, be nice but FIRM...for example...you bought the item...then they should foot faster shipping time charges or in your case...since your not happy with it...you should get a brand new one.
If they balk at that...tell them you want a full refund. Keep going up the ladder with "let me talk to your boss/supervisor until you hear what you deserve to hear...and thats good customer service.
That's playing hardball but after all you spent the money...you expect that what you buy is perfect until YOU mess it up. :-)

You have to weigh how much you spent on it, with how much you need it, combined with not being able to see it normally...against returning it and being without it. Play your cards right...the company should "make you happy".

Dark run looking spot of screen

Probably a bad backlight tube. It would look like a darkish about 1" (2.5cm) wide streak running near to horizontal part or all the way across screen.

Having a big yellow spot background in the middle of the picture.

Hi , it seems you are experimenting a light engine problem.Here's how your tv works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLLHnQ4y-wo Basically there's 3 LCD chips that create the colors and image by blending together.When these chips start to melt you will get those blue spots, pixilation even vertical lines.You will need to replace the light engine. Have a blessed one!

A dark spot in the middle of the LCD display screen.

It can't be removed, unless its a dirt spot and then you can take a paper towel with some glass cleaner on it and then you can wipe off the screen.

Try that anyway and if it doesn't come off then you know the LCD is going bad on you and you'll have to get it replaced eventually.

Red spot on LCD

Hi,
1) That red spot means that a pixel is stuck, actually it's very common on LCDs.
2 and 3) It usually occurs for a manufacturing issue.
4) The most of the time it doesn't mean that the whole screen is going to fail, but in my case I would take advantage of the warranty if the laptop is brand new and the warranty is still there.
Good Luck!!!

Verticle line down the middle of lcd monitor.

This is a common problem with LCD screens. It is pixel line damage and the screen is permanently damaged and is not repairable. It will probably get worse. The only answer is to replace it

Dark area on screen

If it's a circular area you might be delaing with magnetism. Check the menu and there should be a control for geomagnetic correction and adjust accordingly.
