Hello everyone,

I bought a 2005fpw less than 6 months ago and encountered a strange problem: on the upper side of the display a line about 1 cm in height and across the whole screen in width was getting really hot soon after turning on the display. That area began getting darker and was soon looking lightly grey. I carefully checked other areas of the display where temperature seemed to be just fine. After some weeks it was getting worse and the defective area was strongly noticeable.
I rmaed my 2005fpw for a replacement which had severe backlight bleeding as did the one (the thrid) I recieved then some days later. I now have a new 2007wfp which seemed to be just nice. A few days ago I noticed AGAIN that there is a line on the upper display which is getting really hot. I´m pretty sure that it will result in just what I had with the 2005fpw. My TFTs always had a reasonable amount of space in all directions and the temperature in my room is about 20 degrees; running DVI-only via 7900GTX...

So my question is: Is there a name for that kind of problem? Is this problem already known? Since I am from Germany and have to deal with the Dell support here and I really can´t say I´d liked how that worked out in the past.

Thanks in advance, any help is highly appreciated!
