    Im wondering if anyone of you actually notice this, I have smudges on my LCD screen which I couldn't remove because it is actually inside the LCD screen. I noticed a first patch long ago and now I think am seeing another patch. Could it be dead pixels or just pure dirt ? It's very annoying especially if you are viewing a white document. What should I do ? Could I get a screen replacement for this ?

    Can you describe them in more detail?

    Does your laptop screen have a 'front' plastic or glass? ie if you gently touch the screen with your finger, does the picture/colours distort?

    It's possible you have a pressure mark - where the screen has experienced enough pressure to result in a mark but not enough pressure to break/fracture the LCD panel beneath.

    It's really hard to describe.. my screen has a front plastic just like the other SXPS 1640 I'm guessing. the smudges are like inside the plastic and on the LCD panel where I couldn't touch or feel it. I tried Dead Pixel Buddy and it doesn't look like dead pixel to me coz the smudges covered the red,blue,green and white but for black, the black screen overshadows it. Here's a pic I snapped with my camera but it might be difficult to identify.
