    Currently I have a Dell Precision M6300 but they are keep replacing my screens and I have the following two issues: poor angles / grainy.

    What is the situation with 8710/8510? Any better? I need it for a graphic design and I can't accept the quality from Dell.

    Somebody wrote here about problems with 8710w (poor angles). What is the situation now?

    Thanks

    I have a 8710w and the angle and screen seems pretty good to me.

    I have the 8510w with wsxga 1680 res.
    I havent seen yours to compare but it seems great to me. Not glossy at all but good colours.
    I down graded the res to 1200 X 800 and it is not as sharp as full res but much more usable for me.

    How do I tell the monitor manufacturer?
