An idea about 2005 fpw light leak (also posted at Dell)

[TempusMM]

Well, I finally ordered and recieved my 2005fpw and it's pretty, but it does have some dead pixels and light leakage that so many have talked about. What I noticed that has not been posted here to my knowledge is that in the corners where white light is showing through seem to be detatched a bit from the monitor frame. If you tap gently on the corner the screen moves in a tiny bit and the light gets even brighter. I noticed this when wiping the screen off with a cloth. I'm wondering if it's a shipping problem, being that the monitor screen is at the bottom of the box and only supported around its' edges? Or possible as the monitor warms up with use the plastic could expand a bit and let loose of the screen glass? It's worth looking into.

Someone over at Dell's forum replied that they too had noticed the glass seemed to be loose of the frame where theirs leaked light as well and thought it was maybe bad adhesive being used to secure the screen.


I'm awaiting the shipment of my replacement anxiously because other than this flaw it seems to be one heck of a display.

It's just a shame that they allow this kind of things to leave the factory.

I have it on the lower right corner on my screen. It's not really that big of a concern unless the area is one color and I stare at it constantly...

Though, I wonder how the problem happens. You'd think it'd be easy just to put the backlight behind the actual LCD and make sure the LCD is fit with the frame....
