I posted some time ago that my rep said HIS contact said it was "80% Samsung" for the screens. IF thats the case, running out of LG's seems possible.

I have the LG, Im fine with it.

Any light leakage on these Samsungs? I just got my xps2 w/ the LG and have light leakage on top and bottom, bottom is worse.
Is there an industry standard of "acceptable" light leakage? Mine goes up about 1/2 inch on bottom on black screens.
Thanks

1/2" doesn't sound too bad, its about average I'd say.

Half-inch is normal...as long as everything else is fine (i.e. no sparkles, good color, no dead pixels) I consider myself lucky to only have a little 'light leakage', which is present on 99.99% of all LCD screens in the history of man.

Also, there is a persistent 'flavor' on these message boards indicating that the Samsungs generally have WORSE light leakage than the LGs, but LESS 'sparkle,' better whites, and duller colors...don't know if this is the case, but those are the predominant sentiments.

got my xps2 yesterday. haven't installed powerstrip yet, but i'm going to guess that it's an lg. light leakage on top and bottom, dull colors... looks washed out, and of course... sparkle. called the "xps" tech support today. VERY VERY surprised and pleased to have gotten a non-outsourced rep. told him about the problems and now dell is sending out a replacement machine for me.

should be here in about a week. hopefully that fixes the problem.

Hulk, let us know when you've determined the LCD model, eh? Washed-out colors sounds like it could be a Samsung.

Also, didn't you get both a 9300 and XPS2? How does the brightness compare between the two?

here's who i spoke with

NOT OUTSOURCED!!!!!

Michael D Young
Senior Level Technician

1.800.624.9896 x7956506
Michael_D_Young@dell.com

@dellbert, i cancelled the 9300 order. as the reviews of crappys screens got worse and worse, a home-built shuttle system via newegg started looking really good.

i've already got on spec'ed out

nforce4 chipset
amd 3500 winchester
1 gb pc3200 kingston hyperx 2-2-2-5-1
74 gb 10k rpm raptor
liteon 16x +/- dvdr dl
x800 xl

about $1450. and with the extra money i could still afford a decent i6000 or comparable notebook for portable surfing.

I received my laptop yesterday and my screen is sec5557 its reallly nice I love it, it

has light leakage bottom only barely can see it only when its on black screen

I showed 3 of my friends they said isn't that the part where the monitor gets light,

so they didn't notice the light leakage.

I just got the GEN2 with the Samsung LCD and was looking over what you guys are saying about the both screens (LG vs Samsung)....has anyone noticed a sort of "Mesh-like" look to the Samsung screens. I am not talking about the "sparkle effect. You can really notice it when there is a solid color and there is movement or even if you look at the screen and move your head? It looks like you are looking through a mesh, but when the image is still it is ok?!? I have seen this exact thing on other Samsung screens and it is really starting to bug me. Perhaps I am wayyyyy too picky, but even my old 8200 with the ultra-sharp UXGA screen seemed to have a smoother image quality. The one good thing about the Samsung is how bright it is....just a shame about the "meshy" appearance.

Anyone noticing this?

HULK...was your order through EPP or Home? I just spent a half hour in chat with a Dell Customer Rep threatening to return the system for non technical issues (saving $$ through EPP vs what I paid for, changing my financing from 90 dyas to 12 months etc.) The best he would offer is a 50.00 credit which I thought was a joke. You mentioned that instead of having to send yours back first, they sent you a new one...Im curious as to how that happened (warranty possibly? complete coverage?)
