My g51vx-a1 screen

Hi I just received my g51vx-a1 which has the 1920x1080p screen (model AUO B156HW01 v.5)and will be commenting on the screen only.



This is my criteria for a great quality display:



1) Bright

2) No graininess

3) Good viewing angles

4) Minimal bleed

5) Good color reproduction

6) Uniform illumination



The display on the g51vx-a1 meets most of the criteria but still doesn't satisfy my picky eyes. My hardware ID says it is an AUO, now I hear there is a compatible LG which is better (heard on the dell forums).



The g51 does meet the following criteria:



1) Bright

2) No graininess

5) Good color reproduction (little too blue out of the box though requires adjustment)

6) Uniform illumination



It however lacks in viewing angle, both vertical and horizontally. My biggest complaint however is the light bleed. Looking at the screen straight on, on a dark background there is this annoying greyish hue, what I can only describe as a bell shaped light bleed that extends from the middle of the screen to the bottom. The same kind of bleed you would see on any of those cheap bestbuy pc notebooks. This is disappointing and will be replacing the screen or selling the system when my cashback is available. I will post pictures of the bleed later.



So far the only notebook LCD that was, in my opinion perfect, was the CMO on my old fujitsu lifebook. It had great color, brightness, viewing angles, no light bleed and no graininess. The only problem with that notebook was the gpu was not very good.



I believe the dell xps 1640 uses the same screen and they also use LG screens so I might replace the screen with an LG one if the LG does not suffer from the horrible back light bleeding.



Here are 2 pics of the bleeding:
