I just got my T60, but I found a grey line across LCD appears for a while when the computer is turned on or turned off. Does anybody know this issue? Is LCD defective ?

Same thing here. Not sure why...

Is your LCD made by Samsung? I checked LCD of a Z60T, there is no this grey line issue.

Send it back immediately. It's defective. The sooner the better as there most certainly to be a wait time for a replacement.

Line across the screen = bad lcd. Send it back.

Are you guys sure?
I've seen this grey line in mine but it appears only when I shutdown and for a half of a second, and that seems to me like a shutdown effect.

Have you always seen this grey line after you got your T60? I don't think it is a shutdown effect since I don't see it on other machines.

Well, I am not really sure...right now I am in a dark room and I do not notice it when standby-ing or shutting screen off. But I thought it was something similar to CRT screens effect when they shutdown sometimes.

My grey line as I recall it become about 2 or 3 millimeters thick, somehow like the screen compresses at that line, this happens very, very fast, 1/3 second. The line seems a bit inertial, but it dissapears quick. However when in dark environments I do not see it any more...

My LCD is a Samsung. Besides this, which I do not regard as a problem, it is a very good one.

Maybe it is just some effect of LCD made by Samsung.Hope it is ok.

I've got the same behavior...the line shows up right before the screen turns off and then goes away. Didn't strike me as a major issue...
