Dell Laptop Battery Recalls

[Mike]

hahaha... what I found on Dell's site about this crappy D620 screen:

WUXGA LCDs are the highest resolution panels available in the market today. These displays use an industry-standard process that applies a textured coating to the inside of the polarizer to reduce glare and improve light distribution. The WUXGA panel offers nearly twice as many pixels as a WXGA panel [1.3MPixels vs 2.4MPixels]. These pixels are much smaller and denser than on WXGA panels. The smaller size, higher density, and textured coating may cause the display to create a sparkling or blurry effect while using light-colored backgrounds or on a white background, such as word processing applications. This is typical of this technology and is needed to prevent glare and increase viewing angles.

Obviously it's a feature, not a bug! Silly me. I love this sucky sucky high res screen. :lol: It can't render a solid color to save its life. To simulate, cover your screen in dust and cut the brightness in half. Oh, mess with the color balance too, get the color temp all out of whack. Awesome!

I also just realized that after only 6 weeks of use, the keys I commonly use have already lost their texture. Now down to nice, shiny wear spots. That's a feature too I guess. :?

An exploding battery would help this thing out a lot.

i'm really not impressed with the 620s.
