    I have the FHD model. It seems to have very strong matte coating. Is everybody experiencing this??

    There seems a layer dirt on the screen. It has been described by before here as "grainy, greasy effect." One can notice this especially on white backgrounds. When reading an ebook (white background) it makes me a bit nauseas. Different backgrounds seem to be ok.

    Another user reported this with the QHD screen. I am especially interested in the FHD screen, and if a replacement screen will make any difference?

    I had the FHD before I purchased the QHD+. Yes, I did see the grainy effect on the FHD. It has a matte anti glare finish. I would say the grainy effect is more visible in the FHD than the QHD+.

    I have the QHD and I have terrible grainy effect as I've mentioned many times in different threads. I guess it's normal with these Dells.
