The PU200 series is back-lit not edge lit, according to this
http://asia.cnet.com/toshiba-serves-up-three-flavors-of-led-tvs-62219100.htm

So if there's a dark spot on your screen, whether at the corners or anywhere, I would suspect a weak or inoperable LED behind the area.  As Nelson asked, a picture of your screen showing the dark area will help.

my initial unit has this issue...they replaced it because it also had a dead pixel, after going to their showroom unfortunately all their units have this thing in the corners(pu series), you'll not notice it since you are concentrated on the center plus there are stickers and tapes on the sides which will prevent you from seeing it...yes im still having an issue with the dark area around the corner even after a replacement

So my assessment is that this series is edge lit...correct me if am wrong, the reason i also posted here is that i am still entitled to an outright replacement...i hope some other users that own this could provide some insights(normal or not)...tia...

based on the photos, the dark area in the corners seems negligible to me. barely noticeable if you don't point them out.

can you take a photo where we can see the whole panel? taken from your normal viewing distance.
...guaranteed to rock your world!

Judging from the 40pu200 thread looks like this dark corner thing is kind a normal...Its visible enough though the picture is small

40PU200 or LG LED 42LS3450

Its just that i have sensitive eyes... :(

@tokswager... after scrutineering my tv and searching for a movie with almost white scene. I can say that we have the same unit ;-)

Actually talagang nilapit ko pa mata ko para mapansin he he.... hindi ko kasi napapansin yung darkened corners while watching movies so naghanap ako ng movie may white scenes then pause.

As for me tolerable/negligigble naman.... one month na tv ko. Pero kapag pagdating ng panahon at iyan ay abnormal na lumaki ang darkened corners.... I will go for the warranty na. ;-)

Ang problema ko ngayon sa tv ko is scratches gawa ng anak ko... nakatayo lang kasi sa mababang stand :c
