Go to the device manager, go to the monitor tab, go to details tab; and it will say after the display/"XXXXX". The XXXXX is the maker of your screen. Examples include SEC (Samsung), AUO, LG, etc.

Hmmm.......I know for a fact that Powerstrip will tell you -- available at http://downloads.vnunet.com/download...trip/_231.html -- It's a pretty cool program....

You should be able to see who made your screen without it though, I'll figure it out tomorrow when my d620 gets here........

Well.....I got my D620 today and it's got a LG screen, not the Samsung. I can definitely see what people are talking about when the say the screen looks "grainy", especially on white backgrounds. That being said, it doesn't bother me too much.

Also, I wanted to ask you guys with the good displays (Samsung) if you had to pump up the display brightness all the way to get your screen bright enough. I'm not talking about the nvidia settings, just the normal display properties. I had to put it on the maximum setting for it to be acceptable. Please let me know.......

Not necessarily. I can go down two levels have the brightness equivalent to the brightest I had on the Dell D620 with the Intel GMA 950. Now, I remember that the prior configuration had an LG screen.

That sucks that there are potentially different manufacturers since there is such a disparity in screen quality.

Looking more and more like it might be an issue w/ the LG displays.
