Gateway 7805u AUO/LG Batch Numbers

Personal preference, mainly. Some people feel that LG is superior to AUO, but the quality of both vary.

 

Don't feel too bad, a lot of people are going to end up with WXGA. You can always sell yours and buy one with WUXGA if you care about it that much (don't wait too long though). But, look on the bright side, you do have the current version...

 

Batch no I002717
WUXGA 1920x1200, LG3901 Screen.
Lucky Indeed.

 

Same here!

But I have 3 with the same exact batch number: I002717

LG 1920x1200 confirmed by both of us.

I am selling two of them... I just have to re-post because my photo did not include a piece of paper with my name on it.

 

So any update on the status of the 7805u's with Quad cores?

 

I just called my local Best Buy and there holding one for me.
I asked the guy on the phone if he could give me the batch number so he did.

It's I002510 does anyone know if that will be the 1920x1200 Res.?

 

Should be a 1920x1200 by all accounts, lowest batch seen with a 1440 was like I007XXX

 

Ok thank you, now hopefully its the LG not the AUO or is there not a difference?

 

Crapshoot there, might have a better shot at being an LG since 2509 was an LG batch. Honestly though I have the AUO model and find no fault with it at all.

 

Ok cool and thanks again for the help.
I will let everyone know tonight once i get home with it.

 

Greetings, folks!

Hey, could someone kindly inform me as to *exactly where* on the box I should be looking for the batch number?

I just got back from a BB store and couldn't, for the life of me, find anything, anywhere on the box beginning with an "H" or an "I". The store has 2 in stock with both boxes located on the floor directly below the display model. I was able to confirm that the display model was 1920x1200 but (obviously) have no clue about the new-in-box units underneath it.

Thanks!

 

There's a sticker on the box, usually on the side and in the upper right hand corner is where the batch number is.

 

Thanks for the quick response, jeremy!

I'll have to take a trip back there tonight and look again. Still, it's tough for me to believe I wasn't able to find that sticker since I thought I had pretty much scoured every square inch of the box (fingers crossed that the folks at the local BB didn't peel off the stickers after becoming wise to this issue).

I happened to notice that one box had an SNID that was numerically much lower than that printed on the other box. However, I have no idea whether the SNIDs would be sequential or just random.

Anyway, thanks again!

 

Here's a pic of the sticker. It should be somewhere on the box. See the batch # in the upper right?

 

Thanks, yet again, jeremy! Just got back and can't believe I missed the entire sticker on two different boxes earlier. But, FWIW, the stickers are now orange, at least they were on both of the boxes in my local BB.

Regardless, the batch number was the same; a rather disappointing (or perhaps not?) I014080. Guess I'll have to wait for more information to come in on that batch number *or* wait for BB to put them on sale again.

This is a birthday gift for my son and his birthday is still several weeks away. I just thought I'd grab one quick if I could get one of the last of the higher res screens and they were going with the lower res screens from here on out.

 

I have Batch # I006589
Screen is LGD3901. (LG LCD)

Bought offline from Best Buy on 1/6/2009)

I just got this in today (I work in Iraq) and it's nice that I lucked out and got the LG LCD.

 

Prius:
I014080 is a pretty high batch number. Your odds are pretty high for getting the 1440x900 screen. However, that's not necessarily bad. If your son is more of a gamer than a Photoshopper, then the lower res will actually be better for framerates.

 

cfbboyce:
Thanks for the feedback and I suspect you nailed it since he definitely will be doing more gaming than using it for any other single purpose. I know he's getting tired of hauling his desktop to LAN parties and that thing, even after some h/w upgrades, is getting a little long in the tooth anyway.

 

Thought i was the only guy in M.East who got this beauty. LOL

 

Batch # I006944
LGD3901
1920 x 1200

Purchased at Best Buy 09 Jan 90

 

Batch H365817 AUO screen (friends)

Batch H365871 Beautiful LG Screen (mines)

 

OK guys I just got my p-7805u from Best Buy

Batch #I014197 and guess what.... It has the 1920x1200 screen on it I verified it at Best Buy before I left. So it looks like they may be back and here to stay!!!

 

I got batch #1014846 and idk if I should open it.. since its close to airbornejays it may be the 1920x1200 but idk if I should take a risk.. should I call another best buy and see if they have earlier batches or just take the chance with this one?

 

The Best Buy that I went was really cool they let me fire it up and check before I bought it.

 

The one i went to wouldn't even let me check it out before buying it

 

Well i finally got my P-7805uFX Thursday night and I'm very very happy with it.

LG screen purchased 01/15/09

Batch: #I002510
LCD: LGD3901
Res: 1920x1200
Manufacture Date: 11/29/2008

 

I've read more than a few posts around here where people have been able to carefully pull back the sticker sealing the box. May be worth a shot??

 

That or take it out the bottom of the box was suggested by someone, though that looks like a pain, the seal on mine was barely on so i just slowly and carefully peeled it off working my way from the outer edge in all the way around.

 

To me have bought in San Francisco (BestBuy Online Store) 7805u - BATCH: I008975, MFG DATE: KS 081119. The information about the screen of this party is necessary to me, without opening a box. Who can help?
Thank's.
p.s: I'm far 9000 miles from SF and now I can not look it

 

Ok I managed to open it from the bottom finding out i have a 1920x1200! But its AUO1088 . Whats the main difference between the LG and AUO?

 

I have another one to add to the list. Got this one today in Manchester, NH store. It's a great looking display even though it's the WXGA model.

Batch # I013826
1440x900

Someone asked earlier about a good 24" external monitor, here you go, good brand, great price;

http://tinyurl.com/72s98z

*Edit* out of stock at the moment at Staples, keep checking

26" for $269.99 shipped not sure about brand Westinghouse, looks like it has recieved good reviews, and it has a 2ms response, good for gameing

Just got my 7805u tonight, in Oklahoma City.

monitor....LGD3901
batch......I014198

resolution 1920X1200

 

you need to give us the Manafacturing Date before you jump to any conclusions.

So it looks like you may be wrong!!!

 

How is that? No one knows for sure what is going on, but his batch number is higher than jeremyp111 (above), who got a WXGA, and this guy got a WUXGA. How is he wrong, based on that? Plus, his batch number is pretty high, so it's a later date unit.

All speculation. I don't think there is any positive logic here that actually determines which display you're going to get. BUT, far more people are still getting WUXGA than WXGA, wouldn't you say?

 

I had a westinghouse 19" widescreen for a couple years at work, gamma out of the box was garbage and it wasn't the greatest panel (my 225BW Samsung looks way better) but for the price I paid to get it (130 bucks 3 or so years ago) I couldn't argue with it at all.

 

No Sh!t. Where you at over here?

 

Batch# I012031
MFG 12/17/08
1440 x 900 screen =(

I've been calling the best buys, none of the employees have an idea what I am talking about. Unfortunately, I bought this before reading this thread because I needed a replacement for work. Luckily, I undid the tape cleanly and can repack it. Some of the stores say they don't even have batch number stickers on there anymore... maybe they are just clueless.

 

Maybe because they read our thread?

 

So, to sum up (sparse information, notwithstanding), we have two posts re batch numbers starting with I012 and I013, both of which have 1440 screens. We also have (by my count) three posts re batch numbers starting with I014, all of which are 1920.

Not saying, in any way, shape or form, that any conclusions can be drawn from that but it is certainly interesting.

 

I picked up the display model with the LG Display at 1920x1200 at the BB in Seattle but I didn't get the box so I don't know the batch number. Would have loved to contribute to this. 1920x1200 on this looks amazing.

 

You could give us the build date from the bottom of the laptop sticker, might give us an idea of what batch it would be from.

 

Looks like 11/16/2008. So it is an early batch.

 

Yeah my H336XXX was 11/16/08

 

Got mine yesterday at BB in Allentown, PA

Batch: I016887
MFG Date: KS 081212

FWIW:

Seems like mines like richdr's.

Batch: IO15071
MFG: KS 081212 (December 12th, 2008)

Is there any apparent differences from the LG and AUO panels?

 

very nice
