just got my 9300 and so far happy with it - Page 3

Well who knows.. he might end up posting here about how he got a crappy screen or there's a dead pixel in my screen~!!'

Sorry, I'm not going to put my friend in any risk to do these kind of thing.

Your iXPS Gen2 hasn't even gone out of the production status yet, how are you going to play with it?

Why be in a state of denial?

Fantastic logic

You Sir are a genius.

If there's a K9922, and it's better, and it's not in my 9300, Dell is going to bring one to my office and replace the one in my notebook, or I'm returning it. Bottom Line.

There was no advertisement that there were different screen qualities in the 9300 and the iXPS2. They are both labelled WUXGA UltraSharp TrueLife.

Shinji U and SirBA and everyone else reading this thread, correct me if im wrong, but HammerMB was joking, correct me if im wrong but i think you guys missread his post, when i read it i noticed the sarcasm instantly, im not flaming anyone, and i dont know hammer or anything, im just saying that i think you guys took a joke too seriously.

Is he joking?

If he is forgive me...

It is becuase there should be no difference between the screens. There shouldn't be in theory, but in reality there are. If you get a part number S6153 and it turns out to be made by apple and you like it then KEEP IT!!! It isn't the letter and numbers that make the screen good, it is the eyes of the beholder.

Sure sounded like sarcasm to me. I thought it was funny. Some people are a little sensitive at this point and rightfully so.

Apple screens is 9300's?

That's unpossible!

So Shinji, does that mean the XPS Gen 2 has a single display part (K9922 Samsung, highest quality) shipping where Dell is using 2 different displays (LG + Samsung) for the i9300? If that is the case then that makes me happy to know Dell is using the best lcd it has for the XPS Gen 2.

Not everyone on this board speaks English as a native language. (an some of us who do, don't speaks it perfectly). Sometimes jokes and sarcasm are mis-enterpreted because of this. I surely wouldn't want everyone to quit joking and being sarcastic, otherwise I would have to leave. But keep that in mind, when you're reacting to something someone said.

Exactly, after all the waiting and of course, because at the moment I've nothing to lose because my 9300 has already been delivered, I'm going to try it out. I've more to gain by keeping it than returning it. I'm very ready to pass my Sony on to someone else and and start using a new notebook. I've already bought 2 gigs of memory, a 100gb 5400 rpm and a 2.13 processor to put in the 9300. I probably should have waited on all that crap, except for the memory. I couldn't have done without that for even a day.

I'm just trying to make a point, don't worry about who made it, only worry about how much you like it.

Would they do that??? or they have too???

i feel that if you like your screen then its all good , and if you dont dell should let you choose the screen you want .......we the ones paying for it am i right.......plus if we have on-site , a tech should have all the different screens that go for the 9300... and should be able to change it with no problem.....so can this be done........next i know everyone is gonna say that all of us and other people are gonna want to do this, thats not true some guys in here like there screen the way it is, and dont need to change it , while others just dont like it.........so those who dont like it should be able with on-site get a tech and change it to the model you want .......if not get your money back.....so can this be done.........if it can dell gets a thumbs up and if it cant well dell will get the middle finger from alot of customers ......thanks

Just a theory here, but, would it be possible that the WUXGA screens for both XPS2 and 9300 are from the same manufacturer but differ in part number due to the difference in the border and casing of the lcd itself? Just a thought.

I have no idea. My expectation, is that a large proportion of people are going to return their screen because it is sparkly and they don't like that. Dell, of course doesn't want that. At first they will do the usual, offer to repair it, or offer to give you $100 not to return it. But when they go to repair it, they will say there's nothing wrong with it. So then you will return it. It will take a while, I'm not sure how long, but eventually they will decide to let you change out the screen for an acceptable one because it's better for them. But this won't happen at first. The Dell is like a machine, it's not a person you can reason with like another person. The people you talk to can only work with the standards given. New standards or deviations from the standard can only be created by people higher up than you or I will get to talk to. And it takes time, repeated losses, before the higher-ups will act. They may act quicker since they have some experience from the 9200. They may act quicker once this gets out to the various technology news outlets as it most certainly will.

I've got in house repair warranty, so if I complain of the screen they will send someone out. If you have mail in, you'll have to mail it in. Either way, when a tech first looks at it, he will say there is nothing wrong with it. That might be a good time to hand it to him and say, "Well I'm returning it then, because I'm not totally satisfied with it."

The casing of the LCD display has its own part number. The one for the i9300 is:

F5399 ASSEMBLY, CABLE, COACIAL, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY, 17, SULLIVAN/GILBERT

yea i have house repair warranty= on-site right?.... so if i was to complain about my screen ...because of the sparkly effect... should i say the screen is damage or just say i dont like the sparkle effect it has???..... another thing cant you tell them want hardware the tech should bring... like say listen i dont want the same screen i got , i want another model or you give them the model you want... and the tech will have it with him once he gets to your home...????? thanks........
