well not sure what to do i got the replacement 1500 today

im a bit dissapointed, and happy at the same time.....

i ended up with........ can you guess the??


the auo....

I HAVE NO GRAIN THOUGH AT ALL...very happy..


i can say i was a bit relieved about that..BUT... i am not liking the colors at all.. whites are very yellow and there is some blue bleed in the white as well.. hard to explain. whenever there is blue next to the white around the edges the white takes a slight blue hue on...dissapointed here

but blacks are very black way more black than my cpt one is..

almost no light bleeding at all on this one.. there is a touch but almost barely noticable unless you really sit there and angle the screen just right otherwise you cant see it at all.. very very happy there..

the lid HAS NO PLAY AT ALL VERY TIGHT ON THIS ONE when it closes it firmly clicks into place..the battery it nice and tight no wobble at all on this one either...

the backside of the lcd housing where the two pieces i.e. top and bottom meet on my cpt one had a split where they met all the way along the backside... i wonder if this could have caused the bleeding issues that i had with the cpt...the auo is perfect nice and tight lines..all the way around the whole notebook...

so i guess other than the colors on the auo im VERY OVERALL HAPPY.. just not sure i deal with yellowed whites and blue mixing in...


any thoughts??

 

ill try to post some pics of the two before i send the one back... i guess ill settle on one of them to good of a deal to walk away from for the same thing from anyone else id spend way more money

 

Try changing color temperature and vibrance settings of nVidia control panel

One more thing, you cant expect the quality of a $2000 Toshiba qosmio, or Sony Vaio notebook screen from a $975 DELL vostro

 

Why don't you turn up brightness or mess with the color settings??? Maybe you are just color blind?

 

hmm i didnt see the color temp options.. ill check again cause other then the color of it its great!!! i was very suprised when i turned it on and the first thing i did was see who made it and then checked and saw no sign of any grain

 

umm sorry no man... i used to help calibrate rear projection tv's when i worked at a repair shop i know for a fact what they should look like... the brightness is NOT the issue.. i did mess with all the gamma and color settings i could find and while i made it 100% better then it was its still far from having nice white whites...the whites are the only thing that suck.. ill try the above mentioned thing and see how that does i did not know these had a color temp setting on them

 

Right now I’m running XP, In XP you can find color temperature settings under : nVidia Control panel > Video & Television > Adjust video color settings > Correction (tab). I guess same goes for Vista too. [You have to enable Advanced view settings]

 

How long did it take to get your vostro replacement in total? I have the 1 year warranty and I want to get mine replaced because of an electrical buzzing sound coming from the screen.

 

but if im correct this does not adjust for while in windows only while using it for say dvd or tv playback.. under the video and television that is

 

My friend bought a new HP laptop that cost 600 dollars that had a display that looked 10x better then the last AUO 1420 dell sent me. The problem was frustrating for me when I put my replacement side by side with my first SEC system. The whites were horrid on the AUO when compared with the SEC. But I agree, some people may tolerate a grainy screen, others like myself, won't.
Using the price point as a excuse is a weak one. That same panel could have easily been used on a 1300 dollar dell, or a 2000 dollar one with all the goodies. There is no excuse. I think if Dell simply dropped AUO from the 5 vendors used for their panels the problem would mostly go away.

 

there are no cool/warm settings on the 1500

 

zfactor, is that the third one they sent out? Or are you still waiting on the third system?

 

On my daughter's D630 with Nvidia graphics I believe you can adjust each channel separately (red,green,blue), so to change color temperature you alter the brightness of each channel. The computer is not available to me now, so I can't check this to be sure.

 

wtf all these complaints about the screens on dells is making me VERY nervous..i know the "you get what you pay for" phrase with dell but seriously what the hell.....

i cant sleep til my baby comes and i can see what the big deal is

 

still waiting
