    Ok so my screen is faulty. The colors are messed up (Windows folders are green, snow is blue, etc). Dell (India) is being stupid is having trouble verifying my problem.

    So I need your help to prove the them (or maybe to me) that I am telling the truth (or am totally crazy).

    Here is a link to a picture.

    It is my current background on my SXPS16, M1530, and PS3/Samsung HDTV. On both the M1530 and Samsung the rocky part in the bottom right is a definitive blue (with the slightest bit of red). On the my SXPS16 it is a definitive purple. As seen in these screen grabs below (hopefully)...

    Now obviously viewing on my SXPS16 and M1530 every picture looks about the same. My question to you is this, on your SXPS16 (WLED 1080p) is the SXPS mountain picture purple-ish or something else and is the M1530 picture bluer? Are the folders in the SXPS folders picture green and faded or something else and are the folders in the M1530 folder picture more manila colored?

    It is my understanding that the windows folders are manila colored like real manila folders... I could be wrong and they could naturally have a green tint but that seems unlikely. Anyways thanks for any and all assistance. :)

    Hello mate,

    First which screen have you got?

    I have got an AU Optronics 1080p screen on my SXPS and my colours are spot on.
    I also have compared this to my Studio 1555's LG 1080p screen and although the LG screen is slightly better (better contrast ratio) the sxps is still above average.

    You posted screenshots, they won't show any difference.
    Try to take a clear photo of the screens.

    What he said. ^

    Also print screens would not show the difference. Unfortunately I do not have a digital camera in my possession at this time. Hmm...

    My order has both of these on it:

    320-7329 1 16.0 inch Wide Screen 16:9 1080p FullHD RGBLED LCD W/2.0 MP, XPS 1640

    320-0997 1 Premium FHD WLED Display Obsidian Black, 2.0 MP Webcam

    SO I am confused, which one it is. I specified on the config that I wanted RGBLED one, so I just want to make sure I really have it. My resolution is 1920 x 1080

    All the invoices show those two lines, I had it too.
    You'll get the RGBLED.

    W/2.0 MP, XPS 1640
