Samsung 181T / 191T owners: yellow tint on left & right si..

Dear fellow Samsung TFT owners,

I'm calling upon your experience to determine whether or not my newly
acquired 181T is a dud. My expectations of this highly regarded/reviewed TFT
screen were quite high, but my current (first) one has a 'flaw' I do not
like.

The problem, as I see it: when viewing a screen that has a predominantly
white background (such as a maximized, empty Internet Explorer, Outlook,
Word, too many to mention), it seems as though the left and right area of
the screen are faintly yellowish, gradually fading to the nice white that
can be seen in the middle. The bottom corners show it even worse, further
into the screen. I'm talking about an area of about 5cm /2" wide.

It annoys the hell out of me. I've never seen it on the smaller TFT's I use
at work, or on my Dell work-laptop. Moving/turning the screen away from me
hardly helps, so I do not think it is related to the viewing angle.

So, other 181t owners, please please let me know if your white background
are a nice evenl white or not. It would make me feel more sure to send the
screen back to where it came from.

Thanks a million!
