I suspicion that the plates for the lcd were not properly etched hence not properly grounded leading to bleed over in the liquid crystal

If I paid the high price for the Surface Pro and this happened I would track down that new ceo and have him give me double my money back.

If that's the case, and Microsoft fixes it with a Windows Update, I'll be seriously impressed.

Surface Book? (as opposed to Surface tablet)

If so, Lucky You! I look forward to getting one at some point in the future...

If they fix it with a Windows’s update, then my suspicions were wrong... obviously
