M50Sv and M51Sn: A Question of Screen Grain

This question about screen graininess is what is currently preventing me from purchasing an M50Sv. I haven't been able to see one turned on yet so I can't judge for myself but I've seen plenty of M51Sn's with quite a pronounced screen grain. Curiously this only happens on the WXGA+ (1440 res) displays though.

I can't seem to confirm if the same part is used in the M50Sv however. If it is, I don't way to risk it as I've already returned a Dell XPS M1530 because it had horrible grain.

But some of the comments here suggest that it has a different part even though the display is identical (WXGA+).

I'd get a M51Sn with the lower res but at the moment all the models I've seen so far have 200GB and 2Gig Ram. I want something beefier for longevity.

Can anyone confirm the quality of the screen of a newly purchased M50Sv?

 

The M50Sv-A1 uses the AUO. It seems like this is the same screen that the M51Sn uses. However, the graininess does not plague my M50Sv. Light bleeding on the other hand does occur (near the bottom) but is not as serious as what others are claiming on their M51sn.
This is the screen that is in my M50Sv-A1 and most probably the M51Sn laptops.
I've noticed that the vertical viewing angles are quite bad, hence if your screen is not tilted at the "sweet spot/angle", light bleeding will be more pronounced. Horizontal viewing angles are excellent.

 

Thanks empriumboutique! You've been very helpful. I wonder why the same part can produce different levels of grain in different models of laptops (with the same gfx card I should add)? Strangeness.

Anywho, very helpful! Cheers.

I'll guess I'll just have to wait until I can see for myself. I've been toying with the idea of of getting a G1S simply because it might have a different screen... but then you are getting much older technology in those... ah the joys of buying electronics equipment!

 

Yes, the G1S (and the C90s for that matter) has the CMO 1650x1050 screen which has virtually no graininess, excellent viewing angles and almost no light bleeding. However, it is not as bright as the M50Sv and pictures are not as vivid.

It doesn't seem to show any signs of "Grain Screen".
