HP Omen Screen backlight bleeding

firefly09 · ‎04-21-2015

Hi

I purchased the HP Omen laptop online just over a week ago. It's a really nice laptop with one major disapointment the screen has backlight bleed in some of the corners and around the edges, for me this was an expensive laptop and I was hoping it would be my main machine but this has taken the enjoyment out of owning a new and what I thought was a premium model.

I was wondering is this a common problem with these types of panels? Its not noticable in normal use but watch a film trailer, movies, etc with black areas and whilst not massive it is certainly noticable.

Hi!
Since I do not know where you bought this (maybe iBuypower?) I would suggest that you contact them and ask them if it is a normal occurrence for their version of the Omen. With some online bought computers, components are swapped out for others.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for your response I brought it from Very.co.uk and I assumed it come direct from HP themselves?

Perhaps. I am not a UK citizen, but I am assuming that very.co.uk is a bidding website like ebay, right?

I suggets you contact the seller and ask them if a: it came direct from HP and b: if this issue is commonplace.

I hope this helps!

Hey! I actually have the exact same problem with mine but also in the middle of the screen.. I just got it back from HP, who said that they couldn't cover the repair because their warranty didn't cover if it was a problem caused by yourself. That's fine by me, but they told me that I had dropped it on the ground and that's a problem since there isn't a single scratch on it. The bleeding in the edges was a flaw by day one. How about your chassis around your screen? Is it loose?
