Does this model have any light bleed? Last year's Sony XBR line suffered from light bleed depending on the particular model. Has that been resolved in this model?

To answer your question, It does not have any light bleed. For those interested in what the light bleed is, read on. The light bleed issue was a defect caused on last year's 900c model. Because of the the thin bezel, excess light would show on very dark images, giving a very bright spot on the edge of a set. This issue was fixed by Sony before the release of the "D" model. Many associate seeing bright light on the screen edge during night screens as light bleed, but in fact every TV (that's edge lit) will have this to varying degrees. Turning down the backlight or brightness would fix this. Only full array sets and OLEDs are immune to this. To clarify, It's only light bleed if there is a bright area (or strip) on the edge(s) of your set, no matter what's on the screen and what brightness you have the TV on. Hope that helps.
