    hey people. i have a weird problem with my i9300 lcd. i have the brightview screen. sometimes when i load up a game or something that causes my resolution to change, the screen will sometimes become distorted. like it will be in random colors an slanted. and i cant read anything on the screen because its so messed up. the only way i can fix it is either quit the game with alt+f4 or restart my computer.

    anyone experience similiar to what i have? i think it might have been my drivers because one time i changed it i dont think i ever got the same experience. and the distortion is coming from the dell drivers too.

    Hmmm, you could try calling Dell, demanding the standard drivers on a disk that come on the machine, and loading the original drivers and settings. Then see if the problem persist.

    If you can, try taking a snapshot and posting an image or 2 on this thread. Someone would be sure to recognize the problem straight away.
