How do I fix my m1530 Grainy Screen?

On the box of my LG it said refurbished, so I'm assuming mine came from another computer, so I guess I probably just got really lucky.

On the box of my LG it said refurbished,

I was told the tech who installed my screen that the boxes are marked refurbished so when you send the old one back in it (the box) it is already marked refurbish and goes to the correct department.

I don't know if it is true or not but that is what he said.

Ha ha, of course it might be true, but if it's not, what a great line.

So, I just got out of a chat session attempting to acquire an LG replacement. I didn't think I had it in me, especially after getting hung up on last night. It was kind of interesting. After I gave my spiel, she came back and said, "I am seeing a previous order around the beginning of January for a 1530 that had it's LCD replaced twice because it was grainy. Then it was returned and now this screen is also grainy?"

I thought this was going down the road of being indicated as a complaining, bad customer.

Then later sends me this link: http://www.lgphilips-lcd.com/homeCon...1_sips_j_e.jsp and she says, " am unaware of the exact panel type inside the 2, but am quite familiar with panel variation. A friend of mine has the exact same panel and his is better in every way. Some of us are very prone to the differences."

I am not sure if her friend had the exact same panel as I was requesting (LG) or as I have (Samsung)

At any rate she put in the order for the LG and cable and gave me the standard info that it might not actually be the one that gets sent.

This is really too much crap to go through to purchase a $1700 product. I am partly doing this out of the desire to help other people get a quality product and to urge Dell resolve this 3 year old problem with the "TrueLife" Samsung screens. I know I'm not just a bad, complaining customer, I've had over 10 new Dell notebooks over the last 6 years. The only other screen complaint I ever had was the same issue on the first TrueLife glossy screen they came out with.

The XPS M1530 is almost a really cool notebook, as opposed to generally ugly but functional notebooks that Dell produces. I'd really like to see the LG screen for myself before I give up.

I just fired up my Vostro 1500 with WXSGA+ screen, and I think it's an LG!!!! Can you guys please confirm this. Everything looks great, and I don't see any grain.

The only problem is that text from the web looks fine, but images are all pixelated. What can the problem be? Thanks!

Nice, I thought so! The part # is JN997. Any idea why web graphics are looking awful at 1680x1050?

WizeGuyDezignz, please read the stickies before you post. There is an entire grainy screen guide FAQ dedicated to your issue and there is also a separate thread where questions go. The stickies are there for a reason.

I'm sorry, I apologize for that. Thank you for moving the thread.

Again it seems that it really is luck of the draw, in both who you are talking to and the actual availability of an LG screen at the time of the call/chat. The woman that I was in a chat room with didn't seem like she knew what I was talking about, but after I linked her to this site, explained that I do graphics intensive work, and that I had a return order number if it didn't work, she visited with her supervisor for a few minutes and told me she could not get an LG for me. Thats when I asked her if she could check on P/N XK309, again a few minutes went by and she came back and said she has put in an exchange order with the LG screen. I have no idea if it was due to the system showing an XK 309 in stock or having a really nice supervisor working, but I got one.

Hope it works out for you
