LCD flat panel backlight issue

[LanceM]

I tried posting this in Video, but perhaps this is a better place for it.

I recently bought a Samsung 710T and love the darn thing. I have one "slow" pixel that gets stuck on white, then fixes itself, but it's in the far, far upper-left corner of the panel and isn't a big deal.

However, there's one big problem with my particular unit. On black backgrounds, there's a little excess backlight leakage. On any other color, there's a definite shading from dark gray in the top/top-left area to much, much lighter in the bottom/bottom-right area. Definitely moreso than the typical backlight issue of any LCD I've come across.

So, does anyone know how to adjust this without voiding my warranty, or should I just exchange the sucker (got it cheap from Dell, so I suppose it falls under their "21 Day Total Satisfaction Guarantee" policy) and hope that the one they send me doesn't have a barrage of dead pixels?

Thanks in advance!

if you are unhappy with it, then just send it back. if you do open it up, what are you planning to do? most problems on lcds require you to replace a part i.e. backlight, inverter, etc.

i use to repair lcds and this is either caused by the backlight or inverter.
