    I recently replaced a broken screen on my Samsung RPV-501 computer. Since then the screen looks very surreal or like an impressionist painting. When hooked up to an external monitor it looks normal. Don't think the LCD is bad, perhaps the video card? Help!

    connector problem? Did you use the Samsung official part or another panel?

    You can read more about the challenges of using a third party display in this thread.
