"Dirty" look to white backgrounds on my E1505

As the title states, I've noticed that my E1505 has a noticeable dirty, grainy look on white (or any light color, really, but especially white) backgrounds. I've found that after a while of staring at a Word document, my eyes begin to feel tired. Darker backgrounds look fine and don't bother me. I'm thinking about having Dell swap out this screen if there is a chance that I could get one that doesn't have this effect. Maybe I could request the LG screen instead? Does that one display whites more clearly? What do you guys think?

 

That is the dreaded sparkle effect of Dell's screens, most noticably on the M140/E1405, i9200-9400, XPS Gen 2/M170/M1710 TrueLife screens, seems to be an issue Dell is not really addressing considering people have been complaining about light leakage and sparkle as far back as Jan 2005 with the i9200.

 

yep that's the sparkle effect, I have it on my E1405. you only notice it if you're conciously trying to find it on the screen, for normal operation it isn't too bad.

 

Question is.. does EVERYONE with truelife have a sparkle effect?

Maybe Im too used to laptops.. but to me its always different the screen.. light leakage only on bootup.

Then my normal theme is a dark and cool colors so I never work with white too much cept when I open a wordpad or browser.

But does everyone get this issue?

 

Having and LG doesnt always help, I have an LG and its horrible!

Truthfully it doesnt really bug me much.
