    I went to my dell outlet today and I looked at the m130 they had on display. The screen was absolutely magnificent by far the most crisp screen have ever seen on a laptop. I checked the type of screen and im pretty sure its lg.

    Mmm, must be different for the M1730 then, my fault. I thought LG screens in general were great.

    the lg does not dispay green colors properly they appear yellow, it has aweful light distribution, shows banding on all three colors red green and blue. whil yes i agree it is def a very bright and crisp screen its not right when things that should appear green show up yellow and the scren bands like crazy..but yes normally the lg screens are very nice just this one imo sucks

    I have had Dell change my new xps 1730 screen twice in the last couple of weeks. The first one they sent was a Samsung (Dell tech support replacement part number YU241) which had way too much light bleeding along the bottom of the screen. The second one they sent out is an LG (Dell tech support replacement part number YU828). This one, although much brighter, has very inconsistent light bleeding (almost looking like large splotches/waves of light bleeding on different areas of the screen.

    Can someone give me the tech support replacement part number for the Sharp screen? (I live in the USA.)

    Best regards.

    Yes I noticed how here was backlight bleed all over the screen with the LG plus the PQ was terrible and the color unadjustable. I just got the Samsung and I think the PQ is excellent. Yes it does have the backlight bleed at the bottom of the screen but doesn not affect the overall PQ.

    the only thing i am noticing with the sharp is it has a issue with some blue hue's where they break up and get blocky on some pics even really high quality ones. the samsung did this a little also but not as bad as the sharp is doing it..

    "banding" visible on one colour will always be visible on EVERY colour as it is the backlight and not the panel itself...It will just be more noticeable on certain colours/patterns...
