    If you could get a sager np2090 for the same price as a 1520 which would you choose?

    Assume all specs are the same, ignore shipping factors.

    You can get a sager for about the same price at cyberpowerpc.com and they swear they have all the parts ready to build. My brother ordered one and if his screen turns out better than mine, i may have to return this one.

    No, but dell's 1440x900 screens are so horrbile anyways. If i get another grainy screen when i send this one in I am going to downgrade.

    Weird my 1440x900 looks really good, no graininess quite surprised after hearing all the horror stories.

    i am really happy for you, i thought all the talk about graininess was nonsense and just people with overactive imaginations. Until i recieved mine, i have never had a computer with an lcd screen but i noticed it right away thinking it looked odd. I checked out my friends sony vaio glossy screen and was truly shocked at the difference. I will gladly pay 200 more dollars for a non grainy screen.

    Sorry to hear that man :( I would be really pissed too and would pay the extra just to have a good display I don't blame you.

    Hmm I might buy a new laptop from Cyberpowerpc instead of Dell now.
    They have pretty good prices and their rating from resellerratings.com is not bad at all neither.
