    Hi,

    I am looking to get out of Dell Hell after they sent me a LX401 as a replacement for the M1330 that caused endless problems(10 repairs).

    They sent a tech to replace the screen but he said it was the stock B140XW01 Au Optronics WXGA screen.

    Has Dell replaced your screen with an LG screen, especially if you were a 1530 user? I just want to get a laptop I can actually edit photos on without having pesky grain, bad contrast/color, bad viewing angles to ruin the experience.

    Thanks.

    I got the same offer from dell.
    Dell is replacing my XPS1330 with XPS LX401x....
    I have noticed...all the reviews about LX401x are talking bad about the display. Did you get rid of this problem.
    Could you please guide me what are the things that I should take care of..during the system configuration build.

    i got a standard build that could not be changed. 4gb, i5, 500gb drive. i tried to swap out the screen but dell sent the same crappy one to replace it with. the only way around it is to do it yourself. sad.
