    Hi everyone, I wonder if some of you experienced bad screen quality on your Sager laptops? I have already got a second replacement and it is still very grainy and badly lit. I compared it to some other screens in cheaper laptops and they were all much better. It is very dissapointing that you pay so much $ and you get a screen worse than in 300$ netbook :(

    Use "Digital Vibrance" in the Nvidia Control Panel, and set it to 100%. That might do it.

    Previously I had AUO screen and now I have LG/Philips. It is a little better than AUO crap but still grainy.

    I tried that but the problem is the screen itself. Very poor quality, light streaks from the bottom of the screen as well. Will never buy anything from Sager again. The first AUO screen I got was defective without a question and they still shipped it to me. Well, perhaps this is common in China to screw customers like that.

    Yes, the company is chinese. All personel is chinese as well. No offense but I used to work in Hong Kong and I have very bad experience with buying stuff there. They frequently sell you refurbished gear they get for a half price. Same in Singapore. They do not care about the quality or customer satisfaction. All that matter is profit. It is very bad though that they are allowed to practice the same dirty tricks in US.

    This is why I don't buy Sager branded notebooks.
