New development on Hitachi SXGA Display Problem

hi guys

I just got off tech support and the German tech support seems to be aware of the problem.
They told me it seems to be a driver problem and that a new driver is in development right now.
Well, I don't really belive this will solve it but I am waitung for the driver and lets see what happens

    I find that hard to believe myself, and Dell people have been known to lie to make people shut up.  Thanks for letting us know though

    What I am very gald about is that the Dell does indeed reconizes a propblem. Hopefully Rollie is helping us out on the issue too.

    I admit, last night I started to consider just keeping my Dell as is and hoping they come through for us. It is the worst possible time of the year for me not to have a laptop and I really don't know if I can deal with the time w/o one if I do send mine back. I figure I have a couple of days to think about it before Dell gets back with me about my RA number.

    Well that's very interesting. Dell just sent me an email saying its a known issue and they need to update the drivers. The link they gave me that supposedly takes me to some sort of article about the issue just takes me to a select drivers screen though.

    This will be very interesting to see how this plays out. I am definitly not going to send it this point. Hopefully they can fix it.

    Oh well my lap top is sitting on the otherside of the world waiting for me for another 2 weeks anyway.

    Well as I said I will wait for the driver and then see if the smearing and ghosting in windows goes away. If not I will call again and demand a replacement.
    I really hope the driver fixes it but the driver cannot change the response time of the screen so I am also a bit skeptical.

    Well lets see how this works out but I think the driver will not be available till after christmas and the two days after.

    Cu guys
