    I got the information about the E1505 that is about to be shipped. Under the information page in Dell's support section, it says this for LCD:

    LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY, 15.4WSXGA+, VIDEO ELEC. STDS. ASSOC., GLARE WIDE VIEWING ANGLE, LENGTH/LONG

    What's the brand for that? STDS. Association? What does that mean?
    Is it gonna b good?

    That's a reference to VESA, the standards body that defines standard computer resolutions such as XGA, SXGA, etc. It's not the manufacturer.

    Mine doesn't even report a manufacturer or model number when examined with Everest or any other EDID-aware tool. The EDID string is blank. Guess I won't know who manufactured the LCD unless I disassemble the laptop and remove the LCD -- and I'm not doing that!

    skrie, by googling my order part number, and the lcd reported back to me using those tools, I was able to figure out atleast who made it.

    Found it. The part number is CF264, and it's a Samsung screen. It's... meh. Definitely inferior to the LCDs on my previous laptops (Gateway 7508GX and HP ZT3000). Lots of light leakage at the bottom edge and a bit of what is referred to as the "sparklies". I don't play games and rarely watch videos on my laptop, so it shouldn't bother me too much.

    hi,

    regarding the E-1505 i have a problem. During shifting i lost my installation cds. anyhooo, i downloaded all of the drivers from dell's website. everything is running fine except one minor detail: the pictures appear pixellated, even though the text is pretty crisp & sharp.

    I checked in the properties and it turns out that it ain't detecting the LCD and and simply taking it as plug & play monitor.

    If that's the reason (that's it didn't detect the LCD) then please guide me as to where i can find the drivers.

    Additionally, whenever i connect my laptop to my TV, it gives a black & white display, i know my tv is pal, but to be sure, i tried all the other variables, but the result remains the same (i some cases, doesn't show at all)

    In any case, please give me the solution.

    Thanks in advance.
