    Will the stock matte screen (AUO B156HW01 v1) be available again for the Sager np8130? I was planning to order with a 95% gamut screen, but the recent issues have deterred me from doing so. I read a post somewhere that said the v1 screen will be in stock at the end of August--can anyone confirm? Thanks.

    Just in case it was not mentioned, Sager is now even more carefully checking and setting up the 95% gamut screens in all the models.
    The ones shipping now should be very good indeed! No exact word on the standard screen being issued again. Next week we should know more. :)

    (1) For Sager resellers--Will the stock matte screen (AUO B156HW01 v1) be available again in the np8130?

    (2) For Mythlogic and Malibal--I noticed that there is an option for a normal matte screen on your websites. Is this screen the AUO B156HW01 v1?

    I'll trade my AUO v1 matte screen for a 95% gamut matte screen, despite the red on black ghosting issues of the 95% gamut screens we've heard about.

    PM me. :)

    Been out of the loop here for a few weeks, what issue are we talking about? I need to place an order for a system w/ the 95% matte screen, is there something I should know about?

    Raevon, for the past 2 weeks or so there have been complaints of 95% gamut screens with red ghosting/dead pixel issues. However, I don't think you should have to worry because Sager has already confirmed they will have more strict checks in response to these defective screens.
