hi.. A42jv user here. I had problem changing my display from normal-gamma correction-vivid-soft. Only can use normal. But after restart only can change. Anyone ever encountered this problem?

the exterior built of a42jv is really in doubt. The feel of cheap plastic, loose screen bracket, crack hinge.. I pay to get the nb of asus quality, but hey.. I wonder if made in china nb compromises the original quality?

haha guess china quality control don't have that iso2xxx thingy. Btw my last lappy was hyundai mlife forgot which model. Exterior tough as nails. But with aluminum casing. A42j is my first asus. I have dell also but quality wise is much better. Yeah the spec are great, but if ur inner strength is awesome and ur body is fragile.. err.. U know what i mean lol

Sometimes inner strength do count the most.  tongue.gif
Just be careful when using it, I think you won't throw your lappy around don't you?

well i won't throw it around purposely lol. Neah, just concerned about the quality issue. Btw my nb still perfectly intact. Hopefully it stays that way within this few years. Lol

I'm planning to get a new laptop for my bro who is going to US, and so far, A42JV got my interest ~  blush.gif

Apart from several reviews which I've gone through, I'm pretty satisfied with the performance this model is giving.  thumbup.gif

However, I would like to ask all A42JV users if there any problem occur for this model ~

So far I only knew A42JV users are experiencing screen flickering issues[COLOR=red] ~ So any other problem for this model ?  ohmy.gif

Apart from problems, I hope A42JV users could state on the cons of this model ~

Thanks in advance ~

This won't happen after the driver update. It's not an issue anymore as i never encountered such flickering. thumbup.gif

For A42Jv laptop, i had 2 problem:
1) How to update the driver to solve screen flikering problem?
2) When i go to > Screen resolution> advanced setting, it only shown total graphic = 758MB. I think it is something wrong becuz it gt 2 graphic, so total must be more than 1600MB. My bro's A52J also got 2 graphic, but it shown 1xxx MB? Is my laptop got problem?

Thx very much for help ><"

First download the latest nvidia driver, then open your control panel, uninstall the old nvidia driver. Then restart your notebook after that install new driver. No more flickering and all games high setting thumbup.gif

To be safe just do what mr. Lee suggested, do clean install. But i didn't, and it's fine for me
