Question about alienware default screen

[little_one]

Hi everyone

My Alienware M17x R3 ( Non 3 d version ) just arrived today

I noticed the FHD screen it comes with is AUO159D , i remember it supposed to be LG right ?

so .... am i supposed to be happy or sad about this ? i dont really understand about this LCD thing ....

Thanks in advance

AUO159D is from AU Optronics which is suppose to be one of the best flat panels available. So you should be happy with it

What about the 900p screen what model is that? I'm gonna report an official complaint about those vertical lines that I have to live with.

I believe the model number is LP173WD1 made by LG. The LG screens are the cheapo ones

AU also makes a 1600x900 of much higher quality

Its like you buy a new car and sometimes you get good tires and sometimes you get crappy tires...just depends on stock i guess

anybody know where I can find the 1080p R3 screen? A screen that will fit the R3?

I called Alienware...they were nice enough to give me the 1080p screen with 6990m for 422 bucks (with Dell Tech installation fees + Taxes). Guess I won't be purchasing anything from elsewhere, my vertical line problem ought to stop. Thanks though!

HWinFO64 shows the exact model number under monitor... In deed I can't get anything from device manager lol. And I am please to report that I have the LG screen with no vertical lines People shouldn't have to pay more to have a functiuning replacement to your not so functiuning part. What dell does is disgusting.
