    Hi all - been lurking for the last few days, just bought a new Dell XPS 15 L502x. So far I've really liked it. Surprisingly no fan problems, at least as much as other horror stories detailed here. Fantastic audio. Love the style/finish too.

    I got the 1080p screen. It's been an adjustment from my Inspiron e1505 (Such a beautiful screen! Such beautiful audio too!). Colors are way too saturated and vivid for my taste, but I've been able to adapt, thanks to some suggestions here.

    My question is, I finally got around to checking out the camera, and the quality is awful, just awful. Not what I'd expect after how much money I spent. The camera is grainy as ever, and the colors are far from right, no matter how much I tweak the settings in Dell's Webcam Central/Skype.

    Anyone else having this problem? I'm assuming it might be because I have a 1080p with just a "HD" webcam (not "FHD")... but the color... yikes.
