It's known that these Acer models have backlight bleeding but some are much worse than others. Mine is pretty bad compared to what I've seen to youtube, so I will be exchanging my laptop. Make sure to do a backlight bleed check (by making the background all black or go to youtube and use one of their backlight bleeding vids. The specs and the build quality itself are amazing for the Helios - but the screen seems to have some quality issues.
