Disappointed in GX740 Screen

[Voodooi]

Just got it today from UPS and I'm quite disappointed in the screen. Everything else seems to be excellent, though.

It's like the screen just isn't bright enough ...even on max brightness = / I would return it for a replacement, but that's another 50$ in UPS and the loss of premium thermal paste, plus another 50$ UPS + paste for the new model I would choose, so I'd lose too much money over it. It gets SO bad when I try to compose music in FL Studio/Reason ...ugh.

The screen is also making me nautious/dizzy when I read compared to my other laptop/school computers.

Not sure why MSI decided to be so cheap. HD + additional brightness could of made this laptop an excellent choice for anyone.

I wouldn't recommend this laptop to anyone. Buy something with a good screen.

Perhaps you got a faulty screen? Post some screenshots.

You got what you paid for. You should have purchased an Alienware or a Mobile workstation if you want a great display.

I completely agree, it's a really grainy display... it's a massive shame

But I'm going to send mine back and get a refund.

It's unfortunate to hear this. i had heard mixed things about the 740 screen, and ended up getting a gx640. I'm fairly happy with the screen on the gx640. It could be a little brighter, but it isn't bad at all, not grainy and pretty sharp.

I thought the E7405 was just a rebranded GX740... I LOVE my screen, very crisp and rich, and mid-brightness settings are plenty for my taste

yeah no probs here, as for Fruity Loops thats the programs fault (its a toy)

Cubase looks great and VSTs

I love the display on this, granted its no LED HD TV but its still nice and crisp and have no qualms about it

What do you guys mean by grainy? If you don't like the screen, too bad and return it.

I have the e7405 and it is definitely grainy.

Not really an issue in-game though. It's a problem only if you look for it.
