    Curious about anyone else with an M17x-R2 with an RGB LED, I have noticed a shimmer in the picture I hadn't noticed before. For instance, if you have the chrome alienhead logo as your desktop there is a slight shimmer in the image if you look closely. I am wondering if this has always been here and I never noticed it (unlikely), or possibly a problem with one of the GPUs or a sign the screen is giving out. Any thoughts greatly appreciated, I am loath to have Dell replace the screen unless it really is a problem...

    If you take a screen shot does it look the same? Post it here.
