9300 owners: tell us about your WUXGA - Page 35

nah i get mines installed tomorrow the 22nd,but i may have to cancel and reschedule since i have to be away for a day or to, ill see if they can come on thur or fri. by the way ... if i dont like the samsung screen and it has the same whites , but less color then the LG , i will be telling the tech to put the screen back............can he do that? can he deny it and say all he came for was to replace the screen?... if he denys would i be able to call dell and make them tell the tech that i want my other screen back , or should i just pass over $20 bucks and say listen i know you take pride in your job , but please take your time ,dont scractch my laptop , and if the new screen is worse , can you put it back..........another thing how much does it take for a tech to replace a screen... if its fast ... i doubt he will deny puting it back........i just would like to know if the samsung has better white , with the same colors......again i had to change the brightness and contrast to 84... we shouldnt have to do that.......i lost alot of brightness by doing that even tho the white looks slight better , am losing the brightness which is valueable....now if i was to put both at 100 like dell send it, you can really notice the difference with the whites...thanks

i tried turning down the brightness and contrast to 84 and it made the sparkle more apparent for me. it was a huge difference in brightness when you turned it down to 84, so even if it did have less sparkle i would not want to keep it at that low brightness. it just kind of masks the problem because the screen is so dark you can't see anything even the sparkle. i guess nobody was getting their screened replaced afterall =( one more day or so to find out the final verdict on the samsung replacement screens...

Link doesn't seem to be working.

I'd keep your $20, Lu. Just ask the guy to please be carefull in a respectful way. You're in a different situation than me in terms of what you want to do in case the new one is not better than your current one. I will simply tell the dude thank you, then call Dell for an RMA and pack up the computer and send it back. In your case, I'd just simply tell the guy that the one he put in is worse than the one he took out and ask him to replace it. If he balks be insistent. It should be no big deal. I wonder if I can just give the technician the computer and package for RMA and save on shipping. Probably not. I will be arguing against paying shipping charges back on the grounds of the screen defect and their failure to correct it, too.

yea... that draw back is you lose the brightness, but atleast a makes the whites a lil better then before...

Hey Luology, where's my $20?

thanks, but i heard storys before how techs be leaving equiment scrached, screws all messed up, wires disconnected...ect. Yea hopefully he will be good enough to swap back the LCD. Maybe my eyes will bleed and pop out and maybe dell would start using sony screens......like i said if the samsung does not have the same colors and same sharpness of the LG i guess ill see what dell has to say about the situation. either way this laptop is gonna be passed down in a couple of months and my brother already said nice screen,until i showed him the whites... he was like ahh i see, but hey i guess we dont wanna feel taken for fools when it comes to a good amount of money. i guess your RMA yours since you have other options. I really dont until sager or alienware release there next laptops which are based on sonoma. Guess we gotta wait and see

Here is a repost to the image. For some reason yahoo complained that i had a full size image shared. Bleh.

Link still dead on my end

Yep, can't access that link from my end.

Geeze. Yahoo doesn't like me. I need to find a better place to host this. haha. Any suggestions? I put it in briefcase at yahoo and it turned to private cuz they dont like pictures. I put it in photos and they dont let me directly link to it. Annoying.

Just go there and click it. haha

hey what background is that ,that you used to check out the sparkles....i wanna try it for myself ... thanks

I finally took my i9300 to lab today and I can say that I am glad I called for a replacement. The fluoresent tube lighting in our labs makes the whites look really dirty and sparky. Its almost like someone used a wetnap and wiped it across the display so it makes it display rainbow colors. It looks ok with regular lighting at home though. Weird.

its not an image, just dont have a background picture and put in that solid green bright color.

MBMAN, go here: http://imageshack.us/ to share the pic.

Now that the link works, it's too small to see anything! I can host it for you later on this evening when I get home from work. No size limit.

Okay i upped it there.

I am sure the image isn't transferring the effect properly as it would it person, but from here that looks like it's the notorious Philips 'Screen Door' effect rather than a sparkle. But again, I am sure this is not the case in person - just looks that way on screen.

yes i agree it looks worse in the photo then in person. hehe. doesn't look nearly like dellberts.

actually thats a pretty accurate description, screen door
