Thanks guys!

But what could be the problem with those people who have this thingy and have posted the pics in the hp forum ??

Are you sure that, if i buy the dv6 6140tx or 6121tx from croma in delhi, it will not have this defect??

And can someone having dv4 3015tx or 3016tx check his laptop for the defect ??

Thanks once again to you all !

My room-mate too has a HP-6121TX, and his screen is also trouble free. Anyways, you can always check your laptop at the time of the purchase for this issue.

Is HDD the one and ONLY reason to go for 6121 over 6140??
6121 does have 2GB GPU, but will it be any better, even a little bit, under some special cases than the 1GB counter part?
Another thing, will it be 'wise' to go for the 6121 if the price difference is Rs 3-4K or 2K?

The one on the right is the light bleed.

I took the pic with my mobile phone by making the room dark. Yes, in the bottom left, its the WiFi indicator Led. Watch closely to the portion above it to the right. There is a whitish patch. I had scaled down the picture.

No. 2GB is no better than 1GB.

As you have said, I switched off all the lights and took two pics, first with display off and second is for reference. In the first pic the white dot is the wifi indicator. No issues

um, sorry to be jhonny-rain-cloud but i can see the logos light bleeding in the first pic where you have the lights off. Its just above the bottom right corner of the pic, just below the mid right side of the pic.

@prashant and aniket - guys please look closely!

I have looked closely. There is no such bleeding. Both of us have even posted the pics. The only lights that you can see in the pic are from the LEDs on the Wi-Fi key or the status LEDs on the right side of the laptop. Furthermore, if there is any bleeding of light due to that logo on some laptops, then it will be minimum. How is it going to affect the screen? You are just being paranoid.

Yess. That is the logo light coming from the border of screen and not the screen itself. You can make out the outline of screen :)

@marvelousprashant -

Oi ! you mean that its coming from the side and not through the screen, right ?? :)
@aniket - sorry buddy! My bad. And anyway i wasn't talking about your pics. Your one as well as prashants ok. I just made a mistake. Now i'm sure these dv6's are fine. BUT WHAT ABOUT LUCKY STARS???
@ishu - i love these dv4's and dv6's as much as you do. Just trying to make sure before buying.
