Should I Get My Screen Replaced And If So How?

On white background, there appears to be blemishes or a little grainy. Should I get my screen replaced and how? How long does it take? Is the Samsung one a lot better?

 

Which laptop do you have, what is your warranty, and what type of screen do you currently have?

 

Call Dell Customer Care, explain your problem, they will send someone out to your house. However, grainy screen seems to be a common problem with the 1420/1520 Inspirions, my 1520 suffers from it.

 

I got the screen replaced on my 1420. I called on a Monday and the tech came to my house on Wednesday and it took her less the 15 min to replace.

 

my screen was the exact same as yours...called dell t get it replaced. The guy came o few days later, and replaced my AUO screen with a LPL (LG Phillips) screen.

ITS PERFECT

so happy i got it replaced

 

I think my screen isnt just slightly grany i think its quire massively grainy. would i be able to get my screen replaced?

I have the standard warrenty.

 

Standard warranty will cover your screen, however you will have to send it to Dell. Only onsite warranties do house calls.

 

Just remember this...

If you ask to get your screens replaced because of a little graininess, chances are that the new one will be even worse. Make sure that your screen is bad enough to call for a new one.

 

Gosh people, I was really satisfied with my screen. Now with ALL these talks about grainy screens, I am becoming paranoid and finding faults that are probably not even there.

Could someone please define what a "grainy screen" looks like and what are some examples? Pictures would help too.

Thank you.

 

Be aware that if you're looking at an image that is not supposed to be grainy on a grainy screen...

 

hahaha! ya me too, even after a year im freaking out about my screen and how its leaking just a little bit of light at the bottom (which i know is going over board....) i guess comsumers are really getting more demanding...i read an article on that too somewhere on this site...

edit* grainy? beats me, mine might...or might not be....lol i think it means that you can see the pix. on the screen. not sure though

cheers

 

grainy looks like the pixels are broken up sorta.. or some describe it as if you smeared oil or vasoline over the screen.. and it has a sorta rainbow effect.. its hard over the net to show in detail what it looks like. do a search on google im sure some stuff will come up showing pics.... my screen is NOT at all grainy thankfully but the light bleeding is way to bad imo.. i could accept a small amount but this is kinda ridiculous..

 

first off, henryman2008 is a forum troll looking to stir attention in the dell forum.

It seems like the AUO screens are grainy and the LPL (LG Phillips) screens are perfect.

 

I've been driving myself insane...
Is it or isn't it?
Would I have noticed it if not for this forum?
Is it because I'm used to my old matte screen and had never used a glossy screen?
I finally went to a couple of stores and examined as many glossy screens as I could, looking at the control panel's background. I found only one screen in the stores that seemed a little grainy, the rest all seemed fine.
After going home I looked at my new 1520 again, and there is a definite difference between this screen and the ones I looked at in the stores. Grainy is the verdict. And now I don't feel guilty about my request for a replacement. As suggested today, I did try adjusting the gamma and contrast, but I could discern no significant difference in the appearance of the screen.
My screen is an AUO.
