If is says LG, then it is an LG.

Yes it does

LP stands for LG Phillips

L=LG P=PHILLIPS

 

mine just says genric thats it, am i doing something wrong?

 

never mind its an lg, and it looks awsome

 

Hi guys, I'm new here. Going off this poll I just changed my M1530 order from 1680x1050 to 1440x900 lol. I don't want to take any chances with the grainy screen and have to go through all that hassle to replace it. I will report back once I receive my system.

 

UK m1530, ordered last week. Rep said they only ship with new-generation samungs. Arrived with AU Optronics screen. Crap screen, same grain and lighting issues as the samsungs.

 

Interesting Poll-

I also received the LPLDF00 screen - but I have to be honest here - my LG is grainy too (albiet a little). The LG might be better than the Samsung and others - but its not all that great either. My basis for this is when I compared the LG to my HP Laptop or my brother's Macbook Pro (same resolution).

Maybe this is a result of the 'True Life' glossy screen - I sure miss those old matte screens.

(I mentioned this also in the m1530 Grainy Screen thread)

 

Got the Samsung on the first one LG on the replacement so I voted Samsung.

 

This really pisses me off. I've had my laptop for less than a week.
When I received the lappy, the invoice says LG screen on it. So I was all happy. I double-checked in the device manager today, and I have a SEC3157 screen. This is my first laptop, so I can't really compare the screen to anything. But I don't think it's grainy.

 

Got the LG one, very beautiful screen. Didn't regret to upgrade my screen to WXGA+ at all.

 

Hi guys i got my M1530 for about 2 weeks and i can't understand wich screendp i have it says on device manager on hardware ids (AUO2077)

can anyone tell me wich monitor is mine

tks

 

same thing happened to me, its not grainy but red looks almost pink

 

AUPtronics

 

And this one is it good???

I'm happy with it but i never seen one with grainy screen so i can compare.

Anyone with the same screen??

 

Can anyone who has gotten a screen replacement from DELL answer some questions?
Do I ask for a full laptop replacement or have it "repaired"?
Do they pay for shipping and what do I ship it in? (and how long does it take?)
Also, can I call anytime within the warranty I purchased or does it have to be within the first 21 days or something?

Thanks!

 

To add to this, my invoice says I have a "Module,Liquid Crystal Display 15.4WXGA+.Lg Philips Lcd,M1530"

Ridiculous...

 

Yes I have the AUO too. It's a beautiful screen...not grainy at all. I've seen both AUO and Samsung first hand and AUO is superior. The LG is meant to be the best but I don't know how much better it can be than the AUO.

Check out the pics here for a comparison.

 

Yep... over and over and over they rehash it. Who cares!

 

Is it normal for DELL to decline a grainy screen repair?

Code:

CCCS Craig D: Thank you for contacting Dell Canada Home and Small Business Customer Service Chat. My name is Craig. How may I help you today?
Me: Hi, I purchased my notebook about 2 months ago and am not happy with a few things
Me: My screen is very grainy and it is a samsung screen, while the invoice says it is an LG screen...
CCCS Craig D: Can I have your service tag please.
CCCS Craig D: They also do no differentiate between screens. The SKUs for the screens are interchangeable.
Me: ********
Me: I also noticed some other smaller problems
Me: When I open the screen out about 160º, it starts to make a terrible plastic grinding sound against the battery. The plastic by the webcam seems like its very loose, and the keyboard doesn't lie perfectly flat
CCCS Craig D: Those are all normal.
Me: Ok
Me: But I definitely want a replacement screen if possible
CCCS Craig D: The replacement screen will come as the same.
Me: I need a replacement
CCCS Craig D: I'm sorry, but we will not provide a replacement.
Me: Yes, you will let me send my laptop in for repair and give me a replacement LCD screen
CCCS Craig D: No, we will not.

This greatly frustrates me. Did I need to return it within 30 days of purchase?

 

You've got a year's warranty so no it shouldn't be only for the first 30 days.

Man...that customer service rep seems like a real a**hole...
