how do i know who made my lcd??

the id code is cpt141f??? how do i tell who made this lcd?? thanks in advance

 

Chunghwa Picture Tubes

Just use your favorite web search site.

 

i tried google and didnt come up with anything..

anyone know anything about this company?? the display has AWESOME picture great color but horrible light bleed.. i guess this seems to be common with notebook lcd's..

should i attemp sending it back or letting them send me a new laptop or do you think it will end up the same basically??

 

kinda dissapointed it wasnt a better company like lg or samsung etc... i dont know anything about this Chunghwa Picture Tubes.. here are 2 pics.. should i exchange it or is this pretty common?? thanks again

 

That looks ugly. But unfortunately light leakage is pretty common and there are chances you might get a worse screen than this but if it distracts you then it might be worth trying for an exchange. In the past Dell has replaced screens which had leakage issues.

As for as the company behind the LCD, dont worry too much about it. Its just a by product of the outsourcing of manufacturing. CPT are a subsidiary of Tatung who are owned by ECS(motherboard manufacturer). A well known name doesnt gurantee good quality, for example a couple of years ago Samsung panels had issues with leakage and poor contrast/brightness.

 

the only times i can tell are when its a totally black screen or when playing a widescreen dvd or similar. someone else told me dell sent them 3 different screens and they were all worse then his original one..

and ive seen here on the forum now a lg and samsung that appear worse than mine.. i guess im out of luck.

is this common among all notebook manufactures or is dell one of the worse ones with this issue?? we own over 8 toshibas and none have this issue anywhere near this same level they show a small tiny amount but not like this..

 

It is common but the extent of the leakage varies from one screen to another. People might have 2 screens of the same make/model yet have different amounts of leakage. Dell does seem to be more prone to issues with their LCD's although they do sell a lot of notebooks and probably a small percentage actually have issues but then again even HP sells large numbers but from what I have seen in the past 3 years in the forums more Dell systems seem to have leakage issues than HP systems.

Sony/Fujitsu/Toshiba Qosmio LCD's seem to be the best in terms of leakage and quality. But you do pay the extra price compared to Dell to get that quality...

looking at my pics should i chance another one or do you think its not to bad??

 

Well, its up to you since you will be one looking at the screen. It should be OK for general use but its going to look bad especially in dark scenes in movies and probably some games. If it were me I would try for an exchange and hope for the best.
