Which screen does your M1710 have? - Page 19

Well technically both have stuck pixels since the new one has a faint blue one but its nowhere near as visible as the red stuck pixel. You're right though, the leakage isn't very visible even when watching dark movies.

C'mon, buddy...I've seen people swap systems 6, 7, 8, heck even 10 times, just to get a different screen! Does anyone remember the whole 'sparkles' fiasco when the TrueCrap(Tm) screens first came out? Whoooooaaaa, jump back baby! Now THAT was some FUN! Dudes just constantly getting screen/fullsystem replacements at the drop of a hat until Dell finally freaked out and disallowed this as a complaint, lol. I know several people who literally swapped screens/systems 4-5 times, and there was one dude who had 10 screen replacements, lol.

My point is, Jim, that Dell has a very liberal 30-day total-satisfaction guarantee...if you call them up within this period, I AM ALMOST CERTAIN you can get them to at LEAST send you a replacement LCD...FFS, man, if you're still within this time period, GO GETCHA A PERFECT 'PUTER! It's what you paid for! I mean, other companies make you pay ~$200 for a 'perfect screen guarrantee', but dell has their 30-day no-questions-asked swap-out period instead...it's there for you to take advantage...go and take advantage! Everyone else certainly is...look at Joker and WmG...they won't settle for anything short of perfection, and neither should you!

Edit: Even if you're past the 30-day exchange period, you may still be able to get a screen replacement under your warranty...tell them to just send the part, as the upgrade is very easily performed (as you know).

Isn't it 21 day satisfaction guarantee??? Or am I wrong???

21 day just in the US but I heard Canada and other places get 30 days. Hammer, I exchanged my system twice so I haven't really gone for perfection (yet) and more than likely I'm done and am gonna live with the light leakage of this new one.

I've also noticed, compared to my Gen. 2 LCD, that the pixel grid is more obvious on the M1710 LG screen. It has a kind of "pixelly" look to it. I'm probably one of very few people who'll notice it, since many of you never had a Gen.2 prior to getting an M1710. I really notice the screen difference playing World of Warcraft. That said, this new LG is much brighter, as Dell advertises, than the old Gen.2 screen.

Hallo boys!

I'm new in this forum and i post from italy.

I've a XPS M1710 (since one week) and its monitor is a SEC3155. In my opinion it's a very good monitor and i don't see any dark side. In nvidea control panel i chosen:

52% lighting
15% digital brighting
41% contrast
19% improve imagine
5% gamma

What do you think about these numbers?

Yes, it's the sharpness control. I'll try to leave it at zero %.

Thanks.

Almost all computer company's do that. The only two that don't, is: Apple, and Northwest Falcon. If you go to Falcon, go to there support page and then read the warranty.

Isn't Dell still using the ND-6650A??? Or am I wrong???

I think the ND-6750A has write support for DVD-RAM or something...

Am I the only one who has an M1710 where the bottom left and right corners of the screen are VERY dark...just the corners? It almost looks like they are "pinched". This is best seen by auto-hiding the taskbar and setting the background to a solid color. I don't mind much, since the taskbar is usually there and hides this defect well enough that it does not bother me. If I was one of those people who put their taskbar along the edge or top of the desktop, it might bother me more.

OK, cool. Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure. I dread the thought of EVER having my display replaced. it seems like the replacement LCD's ALWAYS have more problems than the original. My screen would have to be showing some really bad problems for me to ever consider having it replaced. I had the display on my Inspiron 700m replaced and now it is so much darker than the original. I even bought a new one for my son and could not believe the difference between the brightness of his compared to mine. Never again will I complain about a "non-issue" because I may get a replacement that has real issues...which is what has happened to a few people on this message board.
