Could you please link your display (Samsung SEC5443 or LG LTN170CT for now) with your graphic card (Nvidia or Ati) and backlighting (RGB LED or WLED)

- RGB LED / Nvidia / LG LTN170CT (bokeh)
- RGB LED / Nvidia / Samsung SEC5443 (gradx, norsten, AdamHLG)
- RGB LED / ATI / Samsung SEC5443 (mitchelboy)

(feel free to copy and edit this list to add your display here if you are not listed)

 

I have Covet / RGBLED / nVidia / SEC5443 combination too.

There is a big misunderstanding, I never encouraged anybody to break their screen deliberately in order to be changed. I was just trying to help resolving your screen issue by getting a reference number directly on your screen.

About your screen calibration problem, I have nvidia 179.68 so I can't be sure the same options are available with other drivers. You can have the settings you want for both desktop and video. Check my 2 pictures :

About my hdd size question it's easy to know. You just have to check if there is more space to put a thicker hdd (12.5mm instead of 9.5mm) or if it would not fit.

 

Something did not work so new test :

Hello everybody! I wanted to thank all of you for the numerous pieces of information in that Thread. It is the first time I am participating to a forum...

I received 2 days ago my new system and already got some problems.
The first time I pressed the ON button, nothing appear on the screen. Since then, I succeed to enter in Windows but very often the Post/Bios screen do not appear...
I called the Technical Support and they will change the Motherboard and the Graphic card! I never used the computer and we already need to change these parts! and the Graphic card is not available for the moment...
I realized today that the Battery status is blinking even if at 100%. I guess the AC Adaptor can be a problem too...

To reply to Tomcom2k:
- RGB LED / Nvidia / Samsung SEC5443 (gradx, norsten, AdamHLG, tomcom2k, Husqvik, giannini)

I will let you know about the different tests and I already apologize for my english level.
