    Hey Asus owners.

    I was wondering if you found your Asus G1S to have a grainy screen. I'm thinking about buying one (possibly sending my Inspirion 1520 back because of a grainy screen), but want to know about the screen before I buy it.

    Thanks in advance!

    How can I keep these settings on? They only apply themselfs after most of my OS and systemtray has loaded, is this normal?

    That probably just means the NVIDIA control panel and drivers are later in the boot process. As long as they come up without you having to do it manually, I wouldn't worry about it.

    It's just annoying that's all, is there a way to priortize the control panel ahead of everything else? Or adjust the screen itself?

    I think alot of the the G1S and 1520 machines (w/the 1680x1050 screen option) use the same samsung LCD, so the silkscreen effect would be seen on both.
    With some settings it becomes less noticable with proper screen adjustment, and virtually un-noticable when you have little/no white on the screen.
    I would also like to know if there is a way to prioritize the way things boot, perhaps change the order in the HKCU(HKLM)/Software/microsoft/windows/current version/run key area? (No idea about the priority of services and stuff though... I am pretty out of it lately with computers)

    the 1520 uses a seiko wsxga screen

    Its not the same.

    However I do think many machines use the same samsung screen in the g1s just not that model

    Ahh, I guess I missread, or saw somewhere with bad information.
    Well I guess that means another 1680x1050 has the same silkscreen effect as the ones in ours and are even different brands :p
    Thanks for the update.
