EDIT: is it possible for me to upgrade to the NVidia graphics card? where would i buy it from?

D620
2.0 Core Duo
1.0 2x512
GMA 900
WXGA Screen

XP Pro
DVD +- RW

Two things, make that three things:
Return your config now.
Get the NVIDIA.
Get WXGA +

Hi all, finally I got my D620 today, everything was great except the screen is very grainy and hard to read. I have an AUO screen. I am thinking upgrading it to the D820, what do you guys think?

Lol, did you read my post, system exchange.. lol
I wish i could get those!

(i think i'd rather have the XPS M1210)

AUO is what i originally received. i swapped it with the samsung screen and that was a little better...

titaniummd · 06-15-2006, 11:17 AM

Roro

Just a little better? I see the text as sharp and crisp. Light leakage was not as bad as the LG in retrospect. I had only an EXTREMELY limited viewing angle when looking at the LG (lateral and vertical). The viewing angle is significantly better with the Samsung; and the screen brightness is definitely better with the Nvidia.

Anyone try other games on their systems yet?

What video drivers are the best for the 120 cards?

well i haven't seen the LG screen. i'm only comparing it with the AUO screen... the grainy/matte texture is also still there on the samsung screen although definitely not as bad as on the AUO. i guess it would be hard to tell just by itself, but i can really notice it when placed next to my 700m screen...

theshowman · 06-21-2006, 08:53 AM

Has anyone tried to the VGA->SVIDEO/composite video out adapter that is widely available on Ebay and advertised to work with XPS and Latitude notebooks?

I guess the requirement is that the VGA connector actually supplies the analog tv-out signals.

My D620 is due to arrive soon, but I'd be curious if anyone can/has confirmed this.

I plan to get D620 this week.

I read the comment that some like the screen and some of the screen are grainy.

How can I avoid this mistake and not have the grainy screen?

Also, about the modular CD, can you have something empty in it? Basically, does Dell include a empty modular so I can carry it even lighter? Manuals says it is a Travelite Module. Is it included?

chong67 · 06-21-2006, 11:53 AM

I saw the manual on the D620 and I have a question about the express card.

From looking at the pictures on the manual, it seems like it is a full PCMCIA slot and you can put the express card in it. Is that right?

elkq · 06-21-2006, 12:12 PM

No Chong it is not a full size pcmcia slot, it is just as wide but not as thick. It also doubles as the smart card reader so the best way to tell you is that it is just thicker than my ID card. I dont have any express cards to test it out for ya but I hope that helps.

roro · 06-21-2006, 07:24 PM

the D620 has an expresscard slot? i thought it only had a PC card slot....
