majority of M1330 got LG screen right?
your problem probably because almost laptop LCD screen in the market is 6-bit panel rather 8-bit panel.
6-bit panel only can produce 262K colours while 8-bit panel is 16.7M true colours.
you can check your M1330 manual for LCD spec.

6-bit is okay for normal usage (no problem with me) but for someone that working with graphic design etc they maybe more “cerewet” with colours.
last time we have some discussion about this in M1530 original thread

links about 6-bit vs 8-bit info

Im thinking starting a new thread.

I cant update the first post.

if this happen quite often when u plug-in ur power adapter, call Dell at toll free numb and get some advise from them(normally will replace ac adapter & power cord)

Now, there is a RM500 online coupon for M1530. But, the 1440x900 display is gone .

the 1440x900 lcd is on part shortage now.. it will resume later.. i got a msg from the SA about it.. thats why my unit is delayed ><"

hi guys
is it a must to dl all updates for m1530 separately? is there no pre-installed program that can do everything auto. my windows update still cannot pick up sp1 whenever i try to update. any reasons?

thanx! me kinda have to slant the lcd a bit to see the colours

It could be that you are using it in an air cond room.I always get shock when i use my M1530 in an air cond room.

only happen in air cond room but not non-air cond room?
u better consult the Technical support team then

Only air cond room.

It's just electric static.

It's ok now in Aus.

I've mention about 6 bit LCD b4 but there is still hope for us stuck with this type of screen. Try updating your display driver to 174.74 and when watching movie try using the Cyberlink software that come with PureVideo features. Cyberlink wrote the software for Dell MediaDirect so you can try that too. Else I can not see any different with the screen or colour. After the driver update I did see a small jump on the Windows Experience Index, subscore Gaming graphics from 5.4 to 5.5.

lol , if u have electric static shock , just skin it , i just got mine 1 week ago and i willing do anything to maintain it's appearance and performance... skin it with transparent skin , top and wrist area ...and i'using 2 cooling pad .. one put under laptop zm-nc 2000 + one evercool fairy extract hot air out.... after i done these protection stuff, i feel more relieve to use the laptop..... love it

envy u man.... got so much budget do all those stuff.. but great job !

-----------------------

Anyone knows... if xps1530 lcd at 1440x900 support HD?

im planning to buy XPS1530....the PRODUCT(RED) at RM4999 inclusive or delivery good????but the warranty 1 yr...

yea=.= i spent about Rm600 for the laptop accessory ( bag cooling pad lazer mouse etc) protection of laptop definitely is the highest priority one....



if u want cheaper get the Rm4199 one and upgrade to same spec processor T8300 2.4ghz + 3 gb ram.... i think price will about Rm4.8k something.. save Rm100...get 1680x1080 screen resolution one , very nice view , personally opinion...about 3gb ram

"In order for the dual channel to function properly, it is necessary for the memory to be set in pairs. In a laptop, there are only two memory slots which enables a configuration of 1GB(2 X 512MB), 2 GB(2 X 1GB) and 4GB(2 X 2GB), On the other hand if you would like to take up the option of 3Gb in a laptop, this will give you a combination of 1x1Gb + 1x2Gb which are not in pairs. Hence this will not support Dual Channel technology. " copied from Dell information"

not very clear about it ...anyone ? does 3gb which is not set in pairs will affect dual channel tech ? big effect or small ? ?

protection till RM600??!~!~thats alot.....btw wat does the 3 yr premium service thing do??i take care of things very seriously....

the reason i want the PRODUCT(RED) 1 becuz it has Vista Ultimate:D

no la , Rm600 protection + some laptop accessory ...about the warranty protection , you can buy a better one if you have spare $ to spend , if not , u can extend the warranty when the warranty is about expire , i"ve asked this question b4 in Lyn.... i used the $ in laptop accessory , so now saving $ to extend the warranty on next year , mine just 1 premium year only ~~~ yea , if u have $, get vista ultimate , can use Dreamscene !! but better buy good processor because dreamscene use lot of CPU usage(even the laptop in stationary), experienced with my fren notebook b4
yea , i agree , better take care of thing seriosuly

Anyone who have experience electrical shock from the palm rest should get their power adaptor change. The problem with the original one was there is no ground/earth wire on it. Dell have 2 power adapter your can use the model no is PA-10 or PA-12 and make sure they come with 3 core power cord.

Added on May 10, 2008, 11:48 pmI have this problem guys after I have install a new Nvidia driver 174.74 my windows vista now can not shutdown properly. It will shutdown if I didn't use the XPS for a long period of time but after some gaming or some BTing the problem will appear again. Can it be memory over heating or software problem. I have Bitdefender anti virus, comodo firewall and PCTools Threatfire running so that should keep my files clean right? so what up with shutdown hang any idea anyone?

Try to log the data (if possible) of the sensors for temperature, CPU with Rivatuner. I hope it can log data.

did you run a driver cleaner pro ? on the nvidia thread 1st post got teach one. try google yourself. it should be your registry conflict or maybe u didn't uninstall your previous driver properly and cause some problem. i got no problem at all using 174.74 and it pretty stable as usual.
