LG Vs Samsung Side by side photos

So here it is, Lg is on the RIGHT side and Samsung on the left. the LG is 1400X900. and Samsung is 1280X800. in two photos I adjusted the screen resolution of the Lg to 1280X800 just in case some asked for it.

I have more photos with backgrounds but I only can post 6...

anyone knows how I can post more than 6 photos?

edit:
here are the rest of the photos .

they are in post #26 of the thread. these will help you also see the diffrence when you look at the screen in angle

 

Lg Btw ! ! !

 

Try the macro setting on your camera next time. It should focus better.

 

sorry, my camera is really old. Time to buy new one.

 

I wish the LG's were better than the Samsungs on the 14.1" WXGA+

 

the LG screen wins easily hands down.
my current X200 notebook from toshiba (which I'm going to sell in a few days) also has a LG screen and and no grain at all.

 

How would I identify which panel I have?

 

I thought you had the 1680*1050, how is the Samsung versus LG on those?

 

You have to go into the control panel and then hardware manager. There you navigate to "Display" and then select properties with rightclick. There, in the "details" tab you can find the display id.

I had the samsung 1680X1050 it's very bad. very grainy. never seen the Lg with 1680X1050 yet. this why I'm still getting screens and laptops replaced 6 weeks later...

 

I'm on Dell chat right now trying to get an LG screen. I am on my 3rd M1530. Wrong resolution screens killed it for me.

 

Last time they canceled the screen replacement saying the LG was out of stock.

 

Ok got it. Will be waiting on tech to call. The part number is XK309

 

There is really a big difference. Thanks for posting. I think Dell should just stop using the Samsung. I know if I got it I would return it the same day.

 

Thank you for those pictures this gives me some more insight on what we are facing.

 

+ rep for Good review of LG/Samsung screens,

The pic with the flowers on the other thread really shows this up!! and now we are clear on the screen problems so we can now end the,, .... endless amount of threads on screen quality, just get a LG!

 

If only it was easy to request a screen type at system build...

My M1530 is currently en route to Dell, with a letter explaining the situation and requesting the LG screen. *fingers crossed*

 

Just say i dont pay for a top of the range xps, and get a lumbered with a cappy LCD! What happend to "you get what you pay for"!!

 

This is purely speculation, I think as soon as Dell is aware of this, and I think they are. They should just stop ordering the samsung screens so that part will no longer be available to consumers. That would be great

 

Even if Dell was aware of it and chose to drop Samsung panels, they will have to make up the supply difference from other suppliers. And we've seen numerous reports of lcd panel shortages in the past..in fact I won't be surprised if they just barely manage to fill all their orders with the current quota. So their hands are pretty much tied too and may have no choice but order from Samsung.
Others are in the same boat too not just Dell...Lenovo, HP,Acer etc..

I think only thing Dell can hope to do is make Samsung aware of the problem and hope Samsung will take steps to improve their panels.

 

For those that were able to get a tech to come out and swap your panel, how exactly did you go about requesting.

I tried tech support, who told me to call customer care.

Customer care told me that I would have to return my entire system, then purchase a new one, and thats way too much hassle for this.

Has anyone been able to just get a tech to come out and swap the panel?

 

Call XPS tech support.

 

I've it which is very good

 

My new replacement laptop has an id of cpt141f what brand is that?

 

I think you got the chinese brand . CPT=Chunghwa Picture Tube

One of the replacements that I had carried one of this. It was ok, Not as good as Lg.

 

Well, after chatting with XPS support, calling customer care, calling XPS support, getting transferred to sales, and then finally calling XPS support one last time, my new LG is on the way...

The XPS tech I talked to was very helpful. I told him my situation, that the screen was fine in a less-than-bright room, but when when I take it to class, or if its outside, screen brightness is terrible, even on max settings. Told him that I have the Samsung panel, had read that others were having success with the LG, as requested to have my panel swapped out.

So, he puts me on hold for 5-10 mins, comes back and tells me they will ship out an LG panel to me ASAP, and I'll get a call from a tech. All at no charge to me.

Now here's hoping its the correct resolution...

 

We have heard from the other thread that a dell tech knows of the LCD screen issue and even if you call up and ask, you will not be guaranteed the screen you asked for. You basically get what they have in stock.

Dell is like a online supermarket, if they dont have a product in stock they will suit an appropriate replacement product, and when they come to your home and you see the product, you can send it back and get a new one with your next delivery! just keep going until you get the intended product. Its stupid, you shouldn’t get this with the dell xps range

I think dell keep a broad view for there LCD's, as there is never a smooth available flow of screens so its basically whatever is there stock room at that time!

 

When I read somewhere that comparing samsung to LG is like night and day, I thought it was an exaggeration. I can see now that I'm wrong, and if I end up with a samsung I'll definitley replace it. Thanks man! Been waiting for a thread like this. +rep

 

I've added this to the above chart:

WSXGA/WXGA+ 1400x900 Panels
Chunghwa Picture Tube (CPT) (Model Unknown) - Dell P/N: TM121 - Size 15.4" - Experience: Not Grainy, but lower contrast than LG Phillips

 

thanks.............

 

I'm sorry but should it be 14.1 screens? How can these be replacements? for a 15.4 screen?

 

I don't think I understand what you are asking?

which is suppose to be a 14.1????

this is just a list that some one made .

 

LG vs Samsung. 'NOUGH SAID.

 

I'm sorry you are bothered, but some one sent me a private message requesting these photos. just trying to be helpful.

 

I wasn't bothered. Sorry I prolly came off wrong. I wanted to just add to your thread. Everyone always asks WHAT IS THIS GRAIN THING.

 

That is really bad....how could they ship out screens like that?

 

Those photos are extremely convincing. I was about to give up on my quest for the LG and keep my XPS with Samsung. Now I will have an LG or return the notebook. Unfortunately, I will be on vacation all next week and unable to participate in any warranty work and my 21 day expires at the end of that. So it looks like return is what will occur.

Just for clarification could you state the manufacturers, model numbers and the resolutions of each clip? Thanks.

 

I have 2 identical XPS 1530s(one for my wife and one for me) other than the screen manufactorers. The specs are in my sig. The first one I had was replaced with an LG part # XK309.

Top picture is LG, Dell part # XK309 and reports as hardware ID LPLF300 in device manager.

Bottom picture is Samsung. I have no Dell Part # but it reports as hardware ID SEC3350 in device manager.

Both screens are WSXGA+ Truelife 1680x1050 screens.

How they can claim there is no problem is beyond me when it is so glaringly obvious.

 

Because Michael B from Dell PR stated that this is normal and part of the manufactoring process. It is called Glint according to him. Of course he is full of you know what.....

 

I believe that the Dell LG part number for the 1280 x 800 15.4" screens is NU763. If that's the case, it should be added to that list, too.

 

Dell tech just left my apartment after a smooth install of my new LG screen...

b-e-a-utiful...

and I have to say, despite having to call back and forth between Dell tech support, and customer care a few times, it was really a painless swap. My guess is they figured out they screwed up and have stopped hassling people.

 

Mine was, came up as an LPL0301 in device manager. I sent it back and now have an RP636 (Samsung "generic"). I like the colours better but yes brightness out of the box is not as good.

 

the XPS M1730 has the same issue with samsung monitors.

Crappy colours, poor brightness, and worst of all, it has massive light bleeding at the bottom of the monitor.

I got a sharp monitor with mine and I really can't complain. I think the LG is a tad better then the sharp but they're both quality monitors.

 

My wife`s D830 15,4 WUXGA 1920x1200 is LPLF200 and I presume it`s an LG , and it is crystal clear

 

Maybe I'm the only one, but the Samsung monitor that was shipped with my 1530 was actually pretty good. I looked at the pictures that show off the grainyness on page 4 and mine has none of that. Period. It is also very, very bright. I have three LCDs in my house to compare it to, and side by side with my ViewSonic 20" they are they exact same brightness at 50%! The only thing that is not good are the viewing angles.

 

Jobodaho, what resolution is your screen? Most people have issues with the 1680 Samsung, but perhaps Samsung's not so bad on other resolutions.

 

No, it's the 1680 version. Again I don't see the "grain" like in the pictures shown in this thread, and it is definitely bright. My only issues would be viewing angles and the glossy screen, but I didn't have a choice on the last one.

 

i have to agree, these pictures really helped me as well. I have the 1680 samsung sec 3350 and my screen is closer looking to the lg in the pic than the samsung. Guess I got lucky. Sorry for all of you that are having trouble.

 

thank you for the pictures. those samsung screens are really crap..
the waiting is killing me.. the moment my notebook comes at the door, this will be the first one i will check.. i'm already expecting it anytime this coming week.. estimated delivery date is 01/30.
