    I was just wondering if people were still having problems on recent orders with the grainy LCD and the CPU whine coming out of the headphone jack on the Dell 1520? I plan on ordering one and I've heard something about Dell picking a lower quality LCD, and I was wondering if it's still being shipped with it? Thanks.

    My 1520 arrived yesterday. The 1280x800 glossy screen looks perfect but there is a slight hissing sound present when you use the included earbuds in a quiet room with no audio playing. Using my own headphones the noise is not present.
