Replacement laptop's screen was a little better...

So recently I posted about the bleed through on my 1520's screen. It was pretty bad, easily noticed on startup, when playing DVD's, etc. etc. I was given a system exchange and I'm now typing on the new 1520 they sent me. This screen is better, but there's still a bit of bleedthrough at the bottom. The strange thing is that this screen is much more vibrant. Both screens showed up as a Generic PnP monitor, but the old laptop's screen looks washed out and not as bright compared to this screen. Both screen settings were set to the same values, but this one I'm on now just looked much better. Also, on startup, the old screen had a sort of bluish tint to it while this screen is completely black. I don't know, it's strange. I'm happy with this one though, so I guess that's all that matters. If I didn't need a laptop at the moment, I probably would've waited for Dell to fix this whole screen mess. The CSR that I talked to said that Dell knew there were problems with the screens and that they were working to resolve them. Whether they really are or not, who knows, but I'd probably wait if I could.

 

u should look up hardware id in the "details" tab in the monitor properties to find out the LCD manufacturer.

 

It just says "standard monitor types" in the manufacturer field.

 

you might be looking in a wrong place. Go to device manager --> monitor, double click to oper properties, go to "details" tab, select "hardware ids" from the drop-down list
