    Hi All

    I bought a used 1720 and the bottom left and right of the screen is very slightly darker, like a smudge. It's about an inch of slightly darker screen.
    I can live with it easy enough, but does anyone recognise this as the start of a screen failure ?

    Cheers ;)

    If you just bought it from the outlet you should be able to get the screen replaced.

    I've had screens before that develop just one spot and the rest is fine. It also may be a spot of damage and the rest of the screen is fine. However, it could be a sign that it is just a poor quality screen and may get worse.

    If it doesn't bother you then I would go with it. If it were me, it would get fixed!
