    Does anyone else have poor quality video with their webcam?

    Mine is horribly dark and grainy and don't even thing about doing any skyping without every light on in the room. Even with it being bright, anything that may be dark, like a shirt or what have you, is very grainy. My wife's Dell 1420 comes in so much clearer and brighter while costing $1,100 less than mine! I know it is a gaming machine, but my goodness, the quality I have on this is just wrong.

    It reminds me of the quality you get with the cheap $10-20 cameras for kids.

    I'm thinking I should contact support on this. What do you think?
