    Just hook up your laptop to an external CRT monitor!!!

    Yes folks, I'll be here all night, don't forget to tip your wait staff!









    (I'm going gonzo crazy over here chatting w/ a CSR about getting the POS CMO on my M1330 replaced... funny, I hook it up to a CRT and "all the problems disappeared")

    no disrespect, however, isn't that obvious. the problem was with Dell laptop monitors, connecting it to an external monitor would solve the problem.

    Uh, iamcanadian, it's a joke.. you know.. teehee! :)

    stevey5036, it's what the CSR suggested to do to verify that my issues: Dead pixels, horizontal lines, graininess were related to the LCD and not anything else.

    I think he was being facetious.

    I hope that's not the case too.
