    Thats is backlight bleed yes. ALL LCD screens are 'susceptible' to it (Some more than others)
    First up, make sure you have the tv calibrated correctly (Use a THX setup disc or similar) The backlight shouldnt be on too high else youll make blacks 'grey' anyways. Too high will also make the bleed even worse than it really is.
    And yes, loosening the back screws has been known to help (Its the major contributer to backlight bleed) but I certainly wouldnt if its still under guarantee
    :idea:

    Note: you may have one of these hidden in your movie collection.
