Precision 7530 & Precision 7730 owner's thread

Interesting. Can you check the Intel driver settings, as well as the Nvidia driver settings? There is an option to change the output bit depth. I'm on mobile, so I can't dig it out...

 

I will see if I can find that.... here is another thing I found using hwinfo:

Memory Speed: 1333.3 MHz (DDR4-2666 / PC4-21300)

is that right? shouldn't it be 2666 MHz?

 

1333 × 2 = 2666. That's correct; modern memory is double data rate, i.e. DDR.

 

Ah got it! Thanks! Still can't find anywhere to modify output bit depth...

 

Look at the images below. First is integrated graphics enabled. Second is integrated graphics disabled. This is a black to 50% gray gradient in photoshop. WTF?!

 

I'm sorry friend, I got you wrong info there... actually if you choose lower spec of display and graphics card, then 4 cell should be no problem... though you choose Xeon E-2186M..

 

I've finally ended up with screen I like after 5 replacements. I must say, Dell's support team was great and very accommodating - no complaints there. I eventually opted to do the replacements myself as opposed to having them send out a technician every time.

Unfortunately, Dell's screen replacements are a lower quality grade than the ones they include in new systems. I had a total of 4 replacements from their service depot and they all were significantly worse than the one I received when it was brand new. Back with my 7510, I was able to receive a good quality replacement after just one attempt, so I was expecting the same here. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I highly recommend opting for a replacement system should the screen not be to your liking.

Since I was outside my initial 30 day window, I had no choice but to source a replacement screen from a new system. It's nearly perfect now, though very faint pin-striping is visible when you're really looking for it - something I can easily live with.

 

The screen in my replacement laptop is great and it's LG. The screen in the original laptop wasn't LG. I also noticed that the second laptop is a little different inside and has better quality. E.g. part if the motherboard that is visible to me is blue vs green in the original, few screws were missing in the original, dufferent cooling, etc. I'm thinking that original was from China and replacement made in the USA.

 

Intriguing! The system I sourced my final screen replacement from had the same cooling/board setup as my first. I'm mostly interested in the cooling system - how was it different? Did your specs change at all between replacements? A picture would be great, but I understand it's kind of a pain to get into.

 

Sorry, I can only tell that the visible part was copper color on the first laptop and is black on the replacement. When I had both laptops in front on me their components looked different.
