    Well....I received This laptop and i didnt know about the bad quality of the 720p display but i need to calibrate it cuz the screen its to blue, i found a nice profile for the B+RGLED screen in the "Dell XPS 15 R2 - L502x - Owners Lounge" Thread
    and it looks a lot better but a little warm with a little oversaturated yellow or green


    The Display description is this 15.6HD TLF WLED LCD L50xX 720p


    So...Please if someone can calibrate this for me or sharing a nice profile or maybe something else to calibrate the display, or maybe using the nvidia Card image configuration.....i dont know


    Thanks

    Are you within the 21-day period? Just return it, you're better off returning to get a spectacular 1080p screen rather than trying to squeeze every ounce of quality out of what you have.

    No amount of calibration will be able to remedy the terrible contrast ratio of the 720p screen, and nothing will ever make up for the fact that it has the limiting resolution of 1366x768.

    if you're within the 21 day return limit, as long as you order another Dell they will waive the restocking fee. You'll temporarily have 2 charges for laptops on your statement, but they will credit you for the one you send in. Worth it

    Mmmm..its a fking Joke what Dell offers me

    1.-if i return the Machine They can Hold and put the 15% of the price on the 2nd machine, but even if i order a new one...they take 4 WEEKS to Return my money and the thing is that i payed with a credit card and with differed months without interest...so if i want this deal, i have to clear de debt of the 1rst machine or have the double of the credit in my card...? I will end Paying Double Bcuz of their 4weeks Process

    2.-The other solution is to buy the other Display but its extremely expensive...like $387 Dollars

    .....So i tried to make a better deal but no one wants or care about it, even i have the dispossition to pay the difference for the other other display but not the $387 Dollars....

    so....There is another solution? another way to make a deal with Dell?...and maybe...where can i get the same display, cables and everything?...
