Is Bleeding Pixel bad for yu?

Apparently my 3rd 216bw experiences bleeding pixel from the sides. I ran this Dead/stuck pixel test and the side show a weird grey firery effect coming from the left and right of the screen.

SO is it bad to look at a LCD w/ that?

I think what you are describing is called light bleed. It's from the backlight not evenly lighting the screen. It's not because of dead or stuck pixels. As far as it being bad to look at, from a image quality point yeah it's not very pretty to look at. From an heath standpoint, it wont hurt anything.

I see, so my black light is screwed up?

My previous two 216BW don't have the problem though.

Mostly likely not, but it depends how bad it is. It's not an uncommon problem but I can't say for sure unless I can see a picture.
