    I'm past my 21 days as I was moving and had other things to do before I could even open the box. I've been mildly annoyed by the light leakage and washed out colors in windows, but when I started playing WOW, the two combined border on rediculous. What are my options for getting this resolved? I've got the 3 year warranty and completecare.

    ^AAAH! Sounds like the notorious 1520 screen! Call up DELL, request they ship you a new LCD to install yourself, or have them do it if you're lazy. :)

    What do I do with the old screen? Ship it to them? Anybody have a how-to? I can build desktops but this is my first laptop. Would me isntalling it void any part of my warranty? Anything else I need to know? What if the new panel is worse than the current?
