    Hey guys,
    I've read a lot about how the Dell m1530's screen can be grainy. I just had a doubt since I'm not good with screens. If Dell m1530 had come out with an LED display (rather than an LCD display), then would the LED display also have the graininess?? Or is it just a problem concerning LCD's

    It seems that the Samsung screens suffer from the graininess so if the new LED screens aren't from Samsung you should be safe.

    Just so you know the LED is the backlight source not the screen source. What LED does is give better more even lighting and uses less power. The screen is still the same technology.

    So LED is not some great new higher quality kind of screen it just eliminates that gradient effect where corners or edges of the screen are brighter than the rest, also LED technology allowed them to make thinner/smaller displays.
