Higher quality lcd screens for XPS M1530

Monitors and Displays, XPS products submitted by marcusesq Jan 13

My brothers XPS M1530 arrived today fitted with a WSXGA+ screen and its horrible and grainy. I didn't get a chance to see weather its fitted with the Samsung or LG screen.
I don't know weather this is a quality control issue or just penny pinching by using cheap screens but until its fixed there is no NO WAY I'll be placing an order.
How anyone could design a laptop this good only to ruin the whole deal by fitting nasty screens is beyond me.
It seems this is not an isolated case either.

XPS M1530 with LED Screen and 2MP Camera

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), XPS products submitted by marcusesq Jan 10

Potential buyers enquiring about LED backlit screens for the XPS M1530 are being told the following by Dell sales reps.

"This is not part of the current plans for XPS 1530 … as 15.4" users are less weight sensitive than XPS1330 buyers, and more likely to leverage the higher-res 2Mp webcam."

I want the LED backlit screen mainly for the extra brightness and lower power consumption and really couldn't car less about a thinner screen. In fact I think the thinner screen used on the M1330 would feel too flimsy on the M1530. As it is now, I like the solid feel of the current screen on the M1530.

I have a feeling that Dell's market research regarding 15.4 users being more likely to want a 2MP camera is probably accurate, so my request is as follows:

Install LED backlighting AND a 2MP camera into the current screen form factor. 1 Comment »

17'' 1330/1530 Style Notebook

XPS products submitted by marcusesq 12/25/07

Can we please have a 17' notebook made in the same style as the 1330/1530?
I believe this computer would be without peer, light and mobile enough to attract people who would never have considered owning a 17" notebook before.
Dell would then have a complete line to (more than) compete with the likes of MacBook Pro. And please introduce backlit keyboards across the range. 23 Comments »
