Yoga 2 Pro - Light bleed on screen - is this acceptable / normal for this screen?

Hi all,
I wonder if someone could give me some advice as to whether the light bleed I'm experiencing on my Yoga 2 Pro is 'acceptable'. It doesn't bother me in normal day to day tasks like office work, email, web browsing but it's pretty distracting when watching videos in a dark / dim room, particularly where the video itself contains dark scenes or letterboxing.
I've done a bit of searching on the web it seems that black light bleed is a pretty common issue with these types of displays.
The following photos were taken on a DSLR in a totally dark room whilst running a video of complete black on youtube:
Brightness 100% - overexposed a bit in camera to show main areas of light bleed. The lower right corner is the most severe. Light bleed is also quite prevalent along the bottom of the screen.

Brightness 70-80% - exposed to represent as closely as possible what i see when watching the black video in a dark room.

Brightness at 50%

Would this light bleed warrant a return? I bought this from John Lewis in the UK and they have an excellent returns policy. I do love the laptop but the light bleed is pretty annoying. I've seen some images of other peoples light bleed and I worry that if I was to get this replaced I may end up with one with much worse light bleed than what I currently have.
Any thoughts and advice would be most appreciated.
Cheers.

Ok, I think I have identified the source of the light bleed from the top right corner.  It seems that whatever they use to glue the panel down to the backing has loosened.  If I press down on the top left corner of the screen it is rock solid.  If I press down on the top right side where the light bleed is it flexes downward.  When I push down on the border the light bleed disappears.
So it would appear I don't have a panel problem, I have a glue problem.  Bummer.  Will contact Lenovo today.  Hopefully getting this fixed won't involve sending my Y2P into some shop for 3 weeks.
The light bleed sucks but what concerns me more is that the panel's integrity seems to be failing and could get worse.  I hope Lenovo has a local shop that can take a look at this.

    Help! Installing updates an error occurred now my MacBook Pro will not restart. "Unable to find driver for this platform"

    Did you try more than once? If so:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Do I need to purchase kozuka gothic pro light font, if I wish to use it for a clients logo-design?

    do I need to purchase kozuka gothic pro light font, if I wish to use it for a clients logo-design?
    thanks for response

    To clear up (what I saw as) a bit of confusion, if you're simply using the font to create the logo and sending it to your client in a non-editable format, they do not need to purchase the font. 
    Only if they plan to use the same font on future materials - or if you send them a live text version of the logo - do they need to make the purchase.

  • Google maps don't display right, part is good but about half of it says "we are sorry, but we don't have maps at this zoom level for this region." Zooming out doesn't help.

    When displaying a Google map I get about four vertical strips that alternately display good and in gray bands. The gray area displays the message "we are sorry, but we don't have maps at this zoom level for this region." Zooming out doesn't get rid of the gray areas.
    I've had this problem for over a year and get around it by using either MS Internet Explorer or Google Chrome which work Ok. Otherwise Firefox works fine and I use it for everything else except Google Maps.
    I've tried an uninstall of FireFox and then reinstall but it didn't help. I don't remember what I was doing when this problem first showed up.

    You're welcome

  • Why  will photoshop not open after loading it to new iMac computer from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

    Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

    A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
    The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.

    i am using a BB Torch 9810, tried to download the BBM 7.0.1 with Voice on my device but it says that this is unavailable for this device . since this is a high end handset this should be supporting this application.

    As I already said it is not your device problem but restriction from local Govt. Which don't allow this feature ( WiFi Calling )

  • Small MacBook Pro screen scratch: Are they normal for a 2+ year old computer?

    Hello,
    I am writing about a topic that may have been mentioned around on these forums multiple times, scratches on the MacBook Pro screen display. In August 2010, I bought my 2010 MacBook Pro and since then I have been very careful with the screen by avoiding to touch it and clean it around every two to three months. However, today, I was cleaning my MacBook Pro screen and a way I examine the screen cleaness is by placing my iPhone 4S LED flash light illuminating the screen which shows the smudges and dirt that the screen has. Unfortunately, today I found 2 scratches on my MacBook Pro screen which run horizontally, these scratches are very small at around 1mm in lenght. They are not noticeable when the screen is on, which is why the scratch may have gone undetectable up until today when I used my iPhone's LED.
    Off course I am a little dismayed because through all my carefullness when I clean the screen (I use a gentle up and down motion to clean the screen), still I was not able to prevent a screen scratch. When I close my MacBook Pro, I still use the plastic material that came on top of the keyboard to avoid any contact of the screen and the keys; I always shake that plastic material before placing it on top of the keyboard . So here's my question is it normal for a almost 2.5 year old computer to have two small scratches as the one I am speaking about.
    I did find the screen bezel at Amazon and I may buy one as a spare and store it in a secure place and use it if there are more pronounced screen scratches.
    Thanks in advance for any answers and suggestions to my predicament.

    I have a 2010 MacBook Pro. I do not take any care to put anything in between the keyboard and screen... I just use it as it was made to be used. I don't take any particular care when cleaning the screen... often, it's just rubbing off a fingerprint with my sleeve or the tail of my shirt. No scratches whatsoever.
    How your screen got scratched is not something anyone here can answer. We can speculate, at most, but that's not likely to be very useful. I'd recommend not putting anything between the screen and keyboard when closing the machine. That could very well be the cause of the problem, if something got stuck to that material when you closed it between keyboard and screen.
    Thanks for the suggestion... I will apply these changes to my MacBook Pro's storing procedure and remove the plastic out of the equation. What bugs me is the fact that because the scratch is 1mm long and horizontal it tells me that a force dragged the material. The only thing I can recollect is when one time a family member accidentally passed close to my MacBook Pro with his headphone jack disconnected and hanging, unfortunately the metal part scraped over the screen but there were not scratches to detect. The impact area as I recollect is close to the scratch but the force of the impact and travel distance was not something as forceful to create such damage. Maybe the plastic is the culprit which makes me feel disappointed because I was using it to avoid problems rather than creating one. Anyways, I think I'll buy a spare bezel for my MacBook and in case there are more future and pronounced scratches, I will send it to repairs to an Apple Authorized Service Provider and give them the bezel.

  • HT1338 Since having my Macbook Pro attached to a large display screen, everything is too large for the screen. Is there a cure please?

    Today I had my Mac linked to a projector screen, and since disconnection evrything from the desk top onwards has been too large for the screen. Before that evrything was perfect. I have tried zoom buttons etc, but nothing seems to work. Any help gratefully rceived.

    So it's not the Zoom feature?  Open System Preferences Universal Access pane Seeing tab.  Make sure Zoom is turned OFF.
    If it's not that, then you may have the resolution set so that it is not optimal for the built-in display.  Open System Preferences Displays pane Display tab.  The optimal resolution is usually the one at the top of the list of choices.

  • Is this acceptable CSS for basic layout?

    Hi there and thank you so long for your help.
    My question refers to this link: http://www.energywa.co.za/layout/
    Is this acceptable CSS coding? I know I will need to style the #content with classes but don't want to continue with this if the basic layout is not perfect.
    Thank you so long for your help & advise.
    Regards,
    Deon

    Is this acceptable CSS coding? I know I will need to style the #content with classes
    Why?  It might be entirely possible not to use a single class on this page.
    In general your CSS is OK.  Here's how I would modify it -
    :root html {
         overflow-y:scroll;
    /* this sets scrollbars on for all browsers so that you don't have pages
    shift when moving between those that require scrolling and those that don't */
    html, body, ul, ol, li, p, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, form, fieldset {

         padding: 0;
         border: 0;
    body {
        font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        font-size: 100.01%;
        color: #000000;
        background-color: #E2E2E2;
        text-align: center;
    #wrapper {
         width: 970px;
         background-color: #FFFFFF;

         color: #FFFBF0;

         padding: 5px 5px;
         text-align: right;
    #header {
         background-color:#FF0000;
         margin: 0 auto; /* without declaring a width, a margin of auto does no good really */
              /* a container div has no default margins, so declaring them is redundant */
         padding: 10px;
    #mainnavigation {
         margin: 0 auto; /* see above */

  • Every time I open Firefox 8.01, on my WinXP laptop, the "bookmarks" toolbar disappears but the checkmark in the view/toolbars menu is still checked when I reopen it, just no bookmarks toolbar showing on screen, Is There A Fix For This?

    I've tried everything including reinstalling Firefox. It began after a new WinXP update. If I go into the view file and uncheck, then check the bookmarks toolbar it shows up and functions fine but to have to do this every time I open the browser is annoying and it just started happening

    Hi,
    The "Tools" are in the old drop down menu, which are not shown by default in the new Firefox Design. To show this menu:

  • Plugged my iphone 3gs into stereo dock! Now i keep getting message flash up on screen that its not suitable for this product and may experience interfearence, now i got no tones or anything when people ring or txt! Can this be fixed?

    Sounds like your stereo is NOT compatible with the iPhone. If resetting the phone doesn't correct the problem, you may want to consider another option.  Was this something that was working fine previously?

  • Helix - Exact dimensions of screen+bezel and cutout locations for custom screen protector?

    Hey Helix owners,
    I want to get a screen protector for the Helix, but I don't want the anti-glare one offered by 3M.  Photodon prints custom screen protects to dimensions you give them.  I was hoping to get the dimensions of the screen+bezel and the cutout locations for camera and tablet button... I'm not able to measure these very precisely myself.  Anyone know where this information can be obtained?  
    I called 3M and they sent me a data sheet for their anti-glare protector, but it contained no info on dimensions and cutout locations.

    Hi,
    I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
    The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
    Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
    Anyway, thank you,
    Chris
