    Hi!

    About 2 weeks ago I got a 1720 from Dell with a WUXGA 1920X1200 screen.

    Unfortunately for me, the screen is "grainy" "sparkling". It's a Samsung 3155

    Has anybody else had this problem?

    Does Dell offer screens built by another manufacturer such as LG?

    I really hate mine and don't want to go through the trouble of having it replaced if there is no fix for this.

    Thanks!

    Mine is an SHP13CB
    I guess this is made by Sharp.
    What's yours?

    Is your grainy or not?

    It's not sparkly. The color and brightness is a bit uneven though.
