    I'm here with the Dell tech. He's swapping the screen, but seems clueless as to why it is very fuzzy like, and very whiteish. Any ideas? He checked the nvidia setting, and reinstalled drivers, but nothing worked. Please help asap!

    Probably needs a different LCD cable. Can you take a picture? Output on an external display still normal?

    Good idea with the monitor. It comes in good on the external. I mentioned the ribbon and he goes, "they did give me a ribbon cable but I didn't use it". I then replied that's it a better screen an probably needs a better cable to push the signal. So he's installing the new cable now.

    It was the cable. I'm surprised the technician didn't know what it was. Does anyone know about "enable 3d vision"? and what I would need to get that working?

    Did you give him a good facepalm expression? He sure deserved it.

    For 3D Vision you'd need a 120Hz monitor and the 3D Vision Kit from Nvidia.

    I thought Intel HD graphics don't support 3D thus 3D models don't support Optimus.
