    The review said his screen discolored in 2 days due to heat, but I think he just received a bad screen. I'm not sure will heat discolor the screen but 2 days doesnt seem enough time for such an effect. Also I havent seen the issue here, but I am concerned. Now I'm second guessing my order :rolleyes:

    Don't worry so about *others* reviews..Wait until you get it yourself, and then decide.

    Why worry or 2nd guess yourself, on something that hasn't even happened to you yet. ;)

    I've had the laptop for over 2 weeks now, and it's seen a fair amount of use.

    No screen discolouration whatsoever and if anything it's the part under the screen that gets warm, not the actual screen itself.

    yeah thats BS, the exhaust might be below the screen, but the screen itself functions at high temperatures!!!

    ive had this computer for over 10 months now of 2-3 hours of daily gaming, and no screen issues, and i dont think i will ever have any, this computer is really nice :D
