I am not sure if this is where I am to put this question- my screen has about a 1 inch 'stripe' from top to bottom that is a bit different in color from the rest of the screen. It does not stop me from reading anything. Is it because some crystals are broken? I have 2 more years on my warrenty- it is an Acer, and I don't know how slow they are to repair/return. Thanks
