Same problem here. I just noticed this today while installing XP again. What I find surprising is that my 'yellowish' spot looks _exactly_ the same as yours. And from the looks of it also like Marcs. Hardly a coincidence, wouldn't you agree? Did you ever care to cantact Samsung about this directly? Just so you know. Same problem here.

But if you ever inspect this, let me know what you found out. Now that I learned that they don't exchange them with new units, I won't do anything about it, too. But I guess I will get another one anyway. Won't look too good if I have two different TFTs on my desk.

So using this exchange service is just a waste of time unless the tft doesn't do anything at all anymore. Another option would be to open it and see if just something got loose inside and need fixing. But that'ld void waranty so I won't do that either.

Are you going to do anything about it? Sounds like we have the same problem with our TFTs. Are you going to do anything about it?

I jsut browsed through the web and found your blog and wondered about it: I own a SyncMaster 204B myself and a few months ago, a defect pretty much exactly like yours apperead on it. It's a small rectangle in the upper right that makes everything there yellowish. the more you look at it from the upper right the smaller it is and the more you move your head to the lower left the larger it gets. I always thought it's not a defect of the pixel layer but something behind it. As if the lighing is only yellow instead of white behind that area. I actually own two of these displays and only one has it. I'm sure it didn't have it at the beginning. ciao Marc Hi !
