    I just got it @ 3:45. Overall i'm impressed. No gaps, cpu noise or touchpad problems. The only negative is that I got the Samsung 1680 x 1050 SEC3350. : ( I think is might be one of the worst ones too. All white areas have dark purple splotches (grain?), and there is a slight yellowed hue, and there is light bleed on the top and bottom.

    to the OP, go ahead and call Dell. It seems they have discontinued the Samsung WSXGA+ screen. They will arrange for a tech to replace it with an LG type.

    The will actually build and new replacement and ship that to you. Call customer service, and tell them you want a replacement.
