Inspiron 8600 LCD
Hi everyone,
I just recently acquired a Dell Inspiron 8600 (just after Christmas 2004) and was very disappointed in the screen. The words are fuzzy some hard to read and the background seams to be frosted. I purchased the system with a WUXGA screen and the 128 ATI Pro video card. I thought I purchased the best. I called Dell tech support several times, tried a lot of different things and in the end they said that they will send a replacement screen for me. I believe the replacement is a Samsung screen. Can any one shed some light on this for me and will the Samsung screen work and work GOOD.
