M4600 IPS Screen Corner Tint

[M-Z]

Hey guys, any update on this?
M-Z - hi from poland, do you know if M6600 is also suffering from this issue? Or it's M4600 exclusive?

M6600 with IPS screen was released later than M4600, so maybe they ironed out a few wrinkles there. But there is no particular reason for M4600 to be more susceptible to this problem. After all it is the same technology.
The people I asked said they hadn't got this problem on M6600. But so did some M4600 owners too.

Well, so I guess it's pure luck. Did you order from DELL directly?

No, not directly from Dell.

blindzior, yes I think it is pure luck if you get a good or bad display. I had a HP 8560w with Dreamcolor with the same tint problem (green and red color on the left corner, red color on the right corner) and after two replacements I did give them the machine back. It did not make sense to me to spend time and money and to hope that machine x will work properly.

Best luck for your decision.

Will let you know once mine is produced.

Doesn't bother me yet, gonna let u know after couple of days. BTW. iPhone catches it as pink-ish color but for me it's white. :-)

bump since edit doesn't bump to top :-)

@blindzior: This non-uniformity of backlight is not the problem which concerns me most. You should be looking at white/light gray screen. And then you most probably would see this green and/or pink tint.
But I am not sure it can be caught on picture. I tried, but it is not clearly visible.

[blindzior]

You are right, left a little greenish and right pinkish. Noticed it right now. I really don't mind at the moment since I moved from T420s and T410s -- no comparison whatsoever with DELLs, so I sure can live with this issue :-))

BTW. M-Z do you know if there is M4600 compatible 2nd HDD caddy instead of DVD on Polish market?

[M-Z]

Well, if it is small enough I agree. But if not - it could be annoying.
