heh Screenshot is clean. I appreciate all this advice, by the way.

I don't think it's a backlight issue. For one thing, the center of the half circle isnt directly in the corner, it starts a little ways towards the center. It's hard to describe, the rightmost edge of the circle starts about where the minimize button is on windows. Plus, this wasnt there until a a month or so after I got it the monitor. If it was a problem with backlighting, I would think it would have been there from the start.

That makes me feel a little better. I switched over to the olive green windows theme and downloaded a matching Firefox theme, so that covers it up pretty well. Hopefully I can make this monitor last a few more months or so until I can get a new one. Thanks for the help everyone.

It's hard to tell because its a pale yellow, but on the blue BIOS screen it definitely shows up, giving a green colour because of the blue background.

I will, but I don't think the warranty covers crack damage. I think I can live with the colour distortion as long as it doesn't spread. It's only visible when there's a white/grey colour in the top right corner of the screen, and I can run apps with a small empty space up top, and a dark desktop image. My biggest concern is spreading of the colour. Thanks for the reply.

So I bought my Hyundai L90D+ from tigerdirect, then moved to the city for college. Monitor works great for a month, but now there seems to be a half circle of what looks like a yellow stain in the top right corner. The monitor image shows up through the defect, but everything is given a yellowish tint. Is this color bleeding? If I look right where the lcd screen is connected to the plastic shell, I think I can see a small hairline fracture, which might have happened during the move. The half circle is about 3 inches wide and 1.5 inches tall right now. Am I screwed? Is this color going to sprea
