...that I receive another LG screen on my replacement Vostro 1500? By luck of the draw (maybe), I received my Vostro 1500 with a LG screen. The screen looks great, but it had a stuck pixel and some light leakage on the bottom.

I talked to a very nice girl at the Dell Resolution Center, and she is overnighting me a new system once it's built. I had a VERY good experience, and this girl was very good. She never even questioned me.

So what do you think the odds are that I get another LG screen? Are Vostro WXSGA+ screens not affected as much as the XPS series by getting a bad screen? Are LG's common on the Vostro line? Thanks!
