Turn off the lights in your house, like youre about to watch a movie. Then turn your laptop to the right, as if your significant other was on your right hand side watching a movie with you and you split the laptop. On the letter box, or a black screen and from the left hand side you can see vertical bands, usually two. Ive had this with 3 sec4457's Ive replaced. It's there. But I dont want to be bursting bubbles, it beats the hell out of the grain. Just goes to show Dell must have saved hundreds of thousands/millions of dollars by buying Lots of grade B/messed up LCD's hoping people wouldn't notice. Im sure Samsung and AUO QC officials noticed the flaws and sold them to Dell for much cheaper.
On a positive note, my vostro 1400 does kick ass. The design is great to access both ram slots, cpu, hard drive etc. Its solid built and cool running. It's far better looking than the HP and very high end looking with the blue leds on the black chassis. Also, Dell customer service has been great to me. I havent been on hold for long amounts of time and they're really nice.
Im awaiting another replacement screen to come in; yet another attempt to get a defect free screen. My complaint against Dell is that they will only send me refurbished lcds, perhaps the reason why I've replaced them 5+ times. These refurbished replacement monitors are returned usually for a reason. But, when I spoke with the rep the first time, I clearly asked him if it was ok if I just kept replacing the screen until I got a non defective one. so, the journey goes on.
