    Hello!
    I noticed two strange lines, they are only visible at certain angles, take a look:

    (first photo shows the normal viewing angle, and the lines are not visible)

    (you can see the lines on this one)

    I have the laptop for about 4 months now, the lines became visible after the laptop came back from an HDD replacement (there were bad ssectors, now it's ok).
    So i guess they messes it at Samsung? Does any of you know what might be wrong and if it would be possible to fix at home without opening the laptop (since i still got the wrranty, but at the moment i don't think that sending the laptop over such a minorthing would be wise).

    Thanks!

    Those are strange marks. I wonder if there has been some physical damage to the display.

    Well, the computer came back in great shape, no fingerprints, no scratches, no nothin really, and I did not drop it or push it too hard.
    There is nothing on the outside that would indicate any physical damage as far as i can see.

    Well there ya go! "...the lines became visible after the laptop came back from an HDD replacement...". The solution is to send it BACK to Samsung for the shoddy service!

    Do the lines go away when you press the screen? I would send it back since it's still under warranty.
