    Hi,

    I am interested in the inspiron 17r, and was looking at it in the store. Is it me or is the screen visibly pixelated (you can see a fine black grid on the screen)?

    The computer I'm talking about is sold in Canada, not under the 17r name, but is the same computer and has these specs:

    That is the new 17R, aka N7110. The screen isn't great, it's a crapshoot with 3-4 OEM's Dell uses for screens (LG Phillips, AUO, Samsung, Chi-Mei).
