Replacement laptop here
After the previous problems I had with Dell, it was agreed they would send me a new laptop with the WXGA screen instead. It arrived yesterday, and thankfully had no grain and was an LG (LPL0301)
My excitement was short lived though after seeing the viewing angles on the new screen, it was only slightly better then the CTP model
Apart from that, the screen was noticeably brighter (it actually started hurting my eyes) and had no backlight bleed. I do miss the extra space I had on the old WXGA+ screen, an AU Optronics replacement for the CPT one, and it’s a huge shame the screen was so grainy. Even though it wasn’t as bright, it was pretty much perfect for me
Thankfully, viewing angles will be a rare problem for me, but maybe sometime in the future, I’ll get tired of it and get an exchange……
