Update --

Guys about the dead pixel issue + screen defect that I mention a few pages back...

I finally got a chance to speak to the Laptop Support and the CC person asked me to check the problem .. and as I was doing that .. the problem vanished ..

NO dead pixel & NO horizontal line.. I restarted the laptop once more and still couldnt find the dead pixel .. Is it possible its a GPU/driver defect ??
Coz till yesterday the line & dead pixel appeared as soon as the display switched on after power-up.

I was getting late for work so couldnt check any more.

I still told the CC that the problem was still there and they told me take laptop to the Samsung Service center to get it inspected.

are you sure???
acc to Notebookcheck, both are almost same performer, 7730m performing slightly better (2-4fps) in many games than 7690m XT, as it's just the rebranded 6770m, the highly respectable GPU from HP 6165tx... Still, 7690m XT has the performance of GDDR5, a big advantage..

not worth the wait... all are expecting atleast 650m in this series...we cant game on fhd with that much lower gpu...its a reborn form of 7730m...and why the hell they used a 2nd generation processors??

Cuz 2nd gen runs cooler...and there is 15% performance increase in IB

Re: The Samsung Series 5 550P Laptops Thread query

yes you can, connect it to your hdtv via an hdmi cable, but to view 3D games you require a software called "3D TV Play" from nvidia, it costs $40, there is a 14 day trial version you can get here

"3D TV Play" may not work with this laptop as the hdmi is not directly connected to nvidia 650m GPU. But there is a way to get 3D works with games and movies, its called Tridef. For it to work, your games should support directx9 at least. If you have a 3d tv / monitor and GTA4/BF3, should give it a try. GTA4 in 3d will put you in the land of Lilliput (Gulliver's Travels) with a remote controller (use ps3 controller to play gta4). Played FSX with it in 3d, simply mind-blowing. Owners of this laptop with 3d display system should definitely try.

Reborn form of 7730m? From where did you come up with that?

Dot right there, 3d will reduce your fps by half as there will be two images (for left side and right side) to render for each frame. So you have to reduce your settings to med/low (low setting in 3d >>>> high setting in 2d). Once played in 3d, will never play it in 2d again for sure.

not worth, why? because last year they were the only one in market with 6770M after Apple Macbook, this year expectation was 7770M. now it is same multimedia laptop. Lets see what would be the pricing on this laptop.

I don't understand what you mean by " as the hdmi is not directly connected to nvidia 650m GPU".....if the graphic card supports 3d tv play then there's no problem, the Nvidia 600 series supports 3dtv play

yea I expected at-least a 7750m......but there's also the dv6-6b00 model, whose specs is not known yet........

JBL can kill all of em w/o letting them know..though its a bit better one in xps
