Ok so I have had some LCD swaps by tech support. I also have gotten some feedback you all on here.
I have come up with the following results and facts.
FACT: There are 2 different types of 1080P panels for this system.
Here are the two with their part numbers.
Samsung Screen: (Colors look good but ghosts too much to be Alienware grade. Also used in inspirons)
Dell P/N: FYTXT
LG Screen: (one that is reported to have low ghosting and is satisfactory by several ECHO15 owners)
Dell P/N: C3MWM
The colors of the Samsung look good but there is much blur. On the LG the ghosting/blur is greatly reduced when compared to the Samsung, however the colors are slightly over saturated in other cases and just do not look right.
You can research which panel you have yourself by downlading HWINFO64

I figured I would share because I can only assume that Alienware customers assume all the LCDs are created equal and had no idea they all vary so greatly when it comes to quality.

Very happy with the LG panel in mine, it does have a slight yellow hue in the center tot the right. But it is hardly noticable. There is a little ghosting but nothing extraordinary. The colors and brightness are great though. Slightly too contrasty though.

I wonder how the new panels are. The 220nits panels haha. -

On the AW15 R2 models they use now 220nits panels instead of 300nits.
