I realized that it was about which part vendor had manufactured the specific LCD installed in your system that made the difference. I was able to see a demo unit at the store and took a gamble that they must be using the same vendor for all shipments in India.

So unless it's a very obvious degradation to your original display quality, there is a fair chance it might be just from a different vendor and you might find something else wrong with the incoming replacement as well.

I am again in the market for a laptop and as before, i find similar reports for the unit i am currently interested in as well.

So life got even more complicated after today, Dell sent one more display and this guy fixed it and left from my house (dad checked the display, they come to fix this only during the hours that I am at work) the display is perfect, showing whites as they should, no dead pixels BUT, when I move my laptop from one place to another or the lid is moved, the screen goes off for a second sometimes and sometimes until I move the screen again.

It looks to me like its a reed switch issue or a hall switch from what I could google, anyone out there who can help me diagnose this?
