    I really want to get a Dell XPS 14 (currently have an Inspiron 9300 from 5 years ago). But I heard that the screen is not very good. Does Dell plan on doing anything about this? Is there a way to request a certain screen that is better?

    I tried to get a new screen but they sent me the crappy Au Optronics. Worst screen in a laptop I've ever used just because it looks like it was made 10 years ago. I was offered the XPS 15 but that's too big.
