Dear pratyush997,
Thanks for reply.
Tired of contacting them. Nobody is lifting the calls.
I found Samsung's support is very bad when compared to HP.
I decided to visit personally.

Thanks & Regards

This may help
I find it very ironical that Samsung, one of the brands renowned for manufacturing LCDs, has issues with screens in laptops. This is the 3rd incident i guess.

Some benchmarks comparing the laptop with my desktop PC.

desktop (intel core 2 quad @3GHz, nvidia 9800GT 512 MB):
--------------------------------------------------------
1. 3Dmark vantage, resolution: 1280x1024,
P-mode settings:
GPU score: 5292
CPU Score: 11479
Overall score: P6116

same res, X-mode settings:
GPU score: 3872

2. Unigine Heaven benchmark, DX10 mode, 1280x800:
4X AA: fps 23.7, score: 596
No AA: fps 35.1, score: 883

3. Stalker CoP benchmark (DX10 mode, 1280x1024 resolution, HDAO, ultra, everything else set to max):

Benchmark NoAA 2XAA 4xAA
Day: 35 15.7 6.3
Night: 33.2 15.0 5.9
Rain: 34.8 15.5 6.2
Sunshafts: 16.8 10.3 5.1

Laptop (NP550P5C-S01/i5 version):
---------------------------------
1. 3Dmark vantage, resolution: 1600x900,
P-mode settings:
GPU score: 7299
CPU Score: 10060

same res, X-mode settings:
GPU score: 5993 @ stock clocks
GPU score: 6421 @ memory overcloced to 1050MHz

2. Unigine Heaven benchmark, DX10 mode, 1280x800:
4X AA: fps 34.5, score: 869
No AA: fps 43.4, score: 1094
Note: although the fps was more, the Unigine benchmark felt more jerky on Laptop. Likely a driver bug.

3. Stalker CoP benchmark (DX10 mode, 1600x900 resolution, HDAO, ultra, everything else set to max):

Benchmark NoAA 2XAA 4xAA
Day: 45.6 24.9 13.1
Night: 41.7 23.1 11.8
Rain: 43.8 23.9 12.5
Sunshafts: 25.4 16.9 10.4

Conclusions:
- In all the benchmarks I ran, the GK107 based GT650M is signicantly faster than G92 based 9800GT
- The gap increases with Antialiasing turned on which is amazing!

Due to ddr3 memory GT650M should actually perform worse at high AA/resolution settings because
9800GT has exactly twice the memory bandwidth as GT650M.
Both use DDR3 memory @900Mhz but 9800GT has 256 bit wide memory bus vs 128 bit wide for GT650M.

benchmarks I ran can be downloaded from:

I have said it a few times earlier and I'll say it again.
U2 is not suitable for this laptop at all!!
The laptop has its vents on the side,which means that it pulls the cool air from the bottom and blows hot air from the side.
And if you see the pics on coolermaster.in page NotePal U2 - Cooler Master
You'll come to know that U2 does quite the opposite.
Instead of blowing cool air to the bottom of the laptop,it tries to suck hot air from within,which is useless in this case as there are no vents at the bottom!!
That is the reason why U2 does not perform as it should.
I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
