Ask for a new machine is all I can think of...'cause I don't think they will send endless replacement screens to you 'just because'...

man, just when I thought we had a clear winner with Samsung W9892

I wonder if there's a 17" wide screen LCD we'd all like?

My point is...
I don't think there's good Truelife screen available now that I've seen the Samsung I really thought they'd win me over. If I order a new laptop....I'm taking the same gamble....My LG wasn't bad to begin with...just the sparkle issue. CRAPPPPPPPP>>>>>>>
I'll have to really think this over.
DellBert!!!! Help....

Try diddling with your colors. I like the Samsung much better with gamma correction at around 0.85 or so.

I have mine as well. Same samsung as the pictutres posted before. The screen looks a lot better now and the whites are better as well. Light leakage is better for me too. All in all a much better screen. I'll be keeping it now instead of returning it.

Brightness and colors appear the same to me but I haven't checked out any games yet to verify.

That's wierd because there is no light leakage of an sort from mine or the washed out look. The colors simply stayed the same and the whites are brighter.

Maybe I got a dud....
But I'm pondering contacting Dell and telling them they
sent me another POS. Then have them send me another LCD
but I have not decided.

Just got mine redone. Still some sparkle, not quite as bad. Still dark spots in the corners, but the light leakage at the bottom and around the bottom corner's I don't think is as bad. Gonna play with it some more and look more closely.

Yeah, just keep having them send you new screens until you find one you like...maybe 50, 60 screens down the road, you'll find the holy grail...until then, you can have a lot of fun getting packages everyday!

In fact, when this next screen (#3) is in the mail, call them up and tell them it sucks even before you see it...explain carefully that you 'just want to get a jump on screen #4' and insist that they send a fourth screen overnight before you've even returned screen #1...keep going like this to see how many 'free' screens they'll send you, then get a new name and SS#...pass out all the 'CRAP' screens (c. 2005, bbstls enterprises) to your friends or knit them into potholders and count yourself lucky to have lived in an age when mass production makes this sort of slapstick possible...

From my understanding of Shinji U's friend who works for Dell Parts in Malaysia, he said that the K9922 is being reserved from the iXPS2. Here is where he said that:

Holy Toledo! I really got everyone riled in that linked thread! I vaguely remember getting loaded and posting some obvious joke when the CRAP stuff was going on, but I guess I never went back to view the consequences! wow...well, you know the saying about a butterfly in Taiwan causing a hurricane in California...er, something like that...didn't have any idea I was so good at pissing people off with sarcasm...

I didn't notice how bad the whites were until I saw my girl friend's 700m display. The whites looked really white and now this Samsung is very very close to that. I guess I didn't realize that because this is my first time with a glossy screen and I had nothing to compare it to. I will be keeping the K9922 Samsung and sending back the LG tomorrow.

Oh really UN. Thats cool- let me know how it goes, incase mine is bunk.

I'm scared that you have more light leak. My complaint was the light leak, not the sparkles =(

Look guys....

The 9300 is not bad and I'm not wanting to return it.
It just seems you have to roll through several screens to find one that looks good. Sounds like a quality control issue stemming from the LCD manufacturers.
