Problems: M1330 LED Screen

I got my m1330 in the one of the first batches, around August 5th. My screen has developed (was not there before) a patch of pixels in the top left of the screen about 4px-deep by 200-px long of pixels that will not display color (everything is in greyscale). Has anyone else run into this problem with their m1330. I talked to Dell support and they are replacing the screen under warranty, but it is still annoying.

 

Make sure you ask for Toshiba, and extra LCD bzel.

Inspect the bzel's gap between the screen, and the bzel itself on all sides when the tech is done w/ replacement.

I had bad experience w/ my replacement already.

When the tech is taking off the bzel, he should be grabbing the bottom right corner of the bzel to take apart, not the darn middle. If he does go for the middle, it's going to end up with little wobble between the bzel, and the lcd.

GL, and watch the guy like a hawk!!

 

I just tried to get them to let me request toshiba. The first guys said that it was impossible to request a specific brand. I tried to talk to another person but because its so late I just got the same person again, that was kind of awkward. I guess ill just pray I get lucky.

 

My first unit had chimei, and had horrible light leakage which I could've lived with, but couldn't stand the stuck pixels haunting me. Googled chimei, and I was like who the hell is chimei, and went for toshiba which I don't regret at all.

Got the replacement for the toshiba lcd, but ended up getting brand new replacement system, which also had toshiba (both had no leakage though). I noticed the original unit w/ toshiba replacement was alot brighter - white was very bright white, while new unit's toshiba had some sort of yellow to the white back ground. Bottom line is even same dog on toshiba aren't made equal.

Kept new unit with dimmer toshiba, because there's no cpu whine.
