    hi all,

    i just bought a dell 6000 and the monitor gives me a very bad impression. the color is very uncomfortable; when playing dvd/movie, the screen is not clear and it's even much worse than my 5-year old desktop; when playing warcraft iii, it's nice, but when playing starcraft, it too sucks!!!

    just want to know it is my laptop problem or my setting is wrong or i missed any software or anything...[xx(]

    my dell 6000:
    Pentium 1.73GHz
    XGA TFT Display 1028x800
    Radeon X300 128M
    1G Ram
    60G harddisk 7200rpm
    Windows XP Home Edition
    DirectX 9.0c

    anybody can help me?...
    thanks in advance

    Don't worry about it.

    He is just one person and has said plenty of times that it is all about preference.

    He has mentioned how long he is on his computer each day and has a totally different situation than you or I.

    Don't try to convince yourself what you did was wrong untill you see for yourself, I was exactly the same way untill I convinced myself just to get it and see.
