    Does anybody have a Inspiron 1520/Vostro 1500 with 1440*900 without grain?

    Vostro 1500 + AUO2077

    I just can't figure out what that grain looks like? Mine looks just perfect to me.
    Only 2 minor flaws:
    Too brighter if you that's a flaw. Fn + down arrow "fixes" that.
    When you look at the screen it's not with the same brightness everywhere. I mean it is, but from my point of view it looks more brighter exactly where I look and less where I don't. I can't really explain that properly.

    ok. go to the local computer store and have a look at the screens there

    also:

    although if your screen is very bad, you won't be able to see the difference.

    also, if you google search the AUO2077, it has bad reviews.

    I can see the difference in the pictures above. The one on the left is worse. Mine also has some little grain, but it looks ok to me :)
