I just received today y new Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook.
The screen doesn't look good.
When I move the computer some areas on the top of the screen make waves. You know those waves when you press against the lcd screen?
So, it looks like maybe there is too much liquid in there or somethng. Cause just by moving, jiggling, it make waves in like 3 different spots on the center top of the screen.

I have an old Inspiron 8100 and that doesn't happen.

Is that normal? Do you think I should just send it back and get another one?

Also, guys, when of the great things is that my screen is a XUXGA, so res goes until 1920x1200, but fonts are too small. But if I change to 120 dpi, so images on the web get distorted.

But if I change the setting to 1600x1200 or 1680x1150, the fonts look kind of fuzzy, not very sharp. Is there a fix for that?

Thanks a lot guys

Thanks

There is no fix for the fuzzy fonts, but there is some way to get IE to run correctly with 120 dpi. I dont remember how, but there is a way.

You have to view your laptop at its native res. 1920x1200 is awesome! Might as well use it to its full potential!

You should probably contact dell about those problems.

I called Dell, and the NEXT DAY a technician came to my work and change the display.
I am happy I made the decision of getting a dell for the 2nd time.
Thanks Dell.

I just got my Inspiron 6000 w/ WUXGA display and had the same issue. I turned it on the next day and no problems whatsoever. I'm just afraid now it might revert back at some point.
