The SCREEN on the model I have seen was kind of DIM, whites came out not as bright and crisp as on my Asus UL30A. True, or just faulty screen?

If this is the ASUS in Best Buy this week for $799 (down from $999), I noticed the same dim-ness. I checked floor models at two Best Buys today, because everything else about the laptop is perfect for me, but both screens were dim. The salesmen said it was on maximum brightness. Photos taken in bright sunshine looked dull. It's a crisp monitor but dark. The $599 model actually has better brightness than this Zenbook. Steve 12/14/13

Mine came with crisp colors and very little backbleeding. I know for a fact that this model as been known to have many faulty screens, so it was probably just faulty.

Hard to say without side by side comparison, but the one I received seemed to have a bright true HD display. Of course, make sure you have brightness turned on maximum, which you probably have already done. Good luck.

The unit we have is bright and crisp. I am happy with the screen, so I'm thinking you may have a faulty screen.

I have a white screen on a black body. No issues and it looks great. I left the home button black and it looks pretty good.

I'm not really sure what you mean by either. There are various adjustments you may make with the display settings. You may make the screen brighter or dim depending on how you like to view web pages. Hope this helps with your choice of purchasing a laptop.

I have the black one, and the color, resolution, and brightness seem to be the same as the stock screen. The only difference I've noticed is that it does not have a very good viewing angle. I'm not sure about the quality of the gold colored screen.

I really don't know if this will or not but I would just look at this one instead: Brand New 15.6 WXGA Glossy Laptop LED Screen For Acer Aspire AS5738-6969It's $3 more but called out for your model.

The screen is white - not a bright white but a soft white, think of soft white light bulb. The screen housing is black with black borders along the top, sides and bottom.

I have the 100" airbright 3d it works decent I have a great viewing angle. Every time someone comes over to watch the game or movies they all love it. I do have some sort of image imperfection on the screen. Its only noticable on a white screen projected. I did send back one screen because of it and it was the same type of imperfection on the new screen. The problem is you won't see it until the screen is fully put together. I said forget it the second time around it was not that major to have to restrech another screen..overall I would give this screen a 7.5 out of 10. Its the best you will find for the money.

Thx Rasband, that helps.However since webcam quality is relative, I wold request other owners of ASUS to comment on its 0.3M pixel webcam quality (dim light picture etc.)

It actually has an AHVA screen which is similar to IPS (very wide angles, no color shift at extreme angles). I use IPS screens exclusively on my desktops, but I don't feel this is any worse for normal usage (I don't use it for graphics work so I don't know how accurate the color is).

Yes, I'm noticing that it happens after it comes back from hibernation for me. Screen opens bright for a second, then goes dim. I suspect something with the power-saving options compromising the screen performance. Still haven't figured it out :(

I just ordered this model a few weeks ago as a second monitor to for my existing one, same model, and I noticed a yellowish tint. Didn't know this was an existing known issue. Am not at home so I can't look up the manufacturer date. What areas shold I take?

I have some backlight bleeding on the bottom right. It's not too bad, but definitely noticeable when the screen is displaying black. I have not tried to fix it myself yet.

Hey Jwag, did you get the TN-T2653H by any chance? I just got it a couple days ago, I also noticed the high pitched noise, and it seemed to be related to how bright the screen was (ie. when programs showed bright shots and when the backlight setting was set to 10). Did Samsung tell you anything relevant?

To tell the truth, I purchased the brand first time. If I compare it to other my laptops, ASUS is lighter and touch screen.

Mine is perfectly round and crisp at all brightnesses. Perhaps you do have a dud.

Yes. The screen is still very responsive. I have not come across any deficiencies with this screen.

s20b350 is the model I own and it is maroon like around the screen but it doesn't glow. Only notice the color in sunlight. I don't think its meant too really. I wouldn't want it too personally. Maybe in photos it catches light but it doesn't glow.
