    The purpose of this thread is to gather data regarding the quality and models of the panels showing up in Alienware 15 (2015) laptops.
    There have been some reports that 1080p screens have heavy ghosting. I personally have had 2 systems that both had ghosting beyond acceptable levels. Others say they have zero ghosting or they say they had it and it mysteriously went away. Another common complaint is of "glimmering" on the 4K screens. This is a common thing with certain touchscreen because of the overlay. However on the market some panels have horrible glimmering and some are hardly noticeable. Again this thread is just here to gather information and keep a dialog open about these issues.
