Do you have color bleed, shadows, or color shift on your text? I did, Not so grainy with matte.

I'm still waiting for mine (1520 w/1440X900).

Could those who vote also post what screen they have? Maybe we'll see some interesting patterns emerge here.

I think for ppl that selected WXGA+ and WSXGA+ you will find that there is graininess. I got my 1520 today with 1440 X 900 today and by graininess - The whites look grey (To me atleast). Rest of the colors look absolutely great!

Mine is very grainy....looks horrible on whites and dvd's. I know in the past with the 1405,1505, and 1705 people had this problem. Seemed to be confined to the samsung panel which is the one i received. They were getting them replaced hoping to get an LG panel. did you guys get the samsung? You can check by going onto Dell and looking at your tag number for the brand.
