It looks like a stuck pixel, just rub it gently with a clean hot cloth it will go away.

yeah its brighter....it seems a bit foggy...cuz contrast ratio is less due to its matte finish

Agreed but somehow i am not finding this lappy.Though ill try to dig again few places more but not sure would be able to bargain well than.
Also since its there from quite few time have a feeling samsung or some other player might launch some new models also.
Also this oct launch of windows 8 is delaying my decision to buy lappy as i am pretty sure all companies will update their model and will come with even better gfx .
but too much confuse.

What BIOS and NVIDIA Driver version are you using.
I remember that when you first had your lappy, you had complained of heating and/or throttling issues, So what exactly did you do to tackle these problems, since your laptop seems to running fine now?

Urs welcome bro....
v-sync should be in advanced settings in game or else u can force it by getting into nvidia ctrl panel n then manage 3d setts...there should be lot of configurable opts under selection menu.......
what r the max temps u getting? if possible set cpu to 70% n try.....ur fid should be 23 when u limit cpu to 99 n 16-18 when u limit it to 70%.....
throttling occurs to prevent overheating...so if u stop it then temps will rise....in my case it was 101C ...
Thanks pratyush997
Your advice worked!!
I forced on Vertical Sync and reduced max CPU usage to 60% and I am now getting a constant 60 FPS!!!
Max temperatures are also below 85*C..
But this does prove one thing beyond any doubt, that the bundled PSU is just under powered for a 45 watt processor. You think that Samsung will replace it with a higher powered PSU, say 120 watt??
And when do you think that we can get stable drivers from NVIDIA?? 
Thanks again bro, don't know what I would have done without help from you guys at TDF..

Dear potheadninja,
It's as brighter as Sun. I couldn't capture it properly.
That's not in the liquid. It appears deeper in the panel.
Thanks & Regards

Ok guys gotta register for the extended 1 year free warranty, i see i have to upload the pic of invoice.. Does anyone know whether samsung cross check the date of invoice with the dealer or they will grant the extended warranty just by seeing the date on invoice uploaded by me?
Thanks.

mate temp of my CPU and GPU are way undercontrol ..like 65 and 70 . My PC handles bf3 at ultra as well .. (few lags ) but fyn ... and FIFA12 shud have been a piece of cake, but ...to my surprse i dint run gud. I have searched many forums and many have faced this problem and conclusion came to this that nvidia will update drivers soon. i have tried everythg but of no help.
regarding laptop ..at many places i have read about replacing the HDD wid SSD? cud u just explain to me wat exactly is this thing? Thx for the quick help tho !
