I have a 3-year old Samsung LCD monitor. Over the last month or so, I've
noticed that when the monitor is displaying a totally black screen,
there is a faint rectangle of light along the four inside edges of the
panel.

Is my monitor trying to tell me something?

I hope not. I have a new Samsung and it does the same thing.

Yes, it is saying "You are seeing my backlight bleeding around my edges!"

Many monitors do this, I have seen this on $650 Samsung and Dell LCDs.

Have you adjusted the brightness and contrast from their factory default
settings?

See:

for test patterns to use to adjust your monitor.

Thanks to all for your assurance that this is normal (albeit undesired).

I guess I'm on the 'bleeding edge' of monitor technology.
