Dell XFR screen

#1 Post by ADOR »

I have looked at a couple of these on and off. I see some of them are listed as having a "leaking screen" or has liquid bubbles in the screen. What kind of screen are they using in them? And why?

I have seen this also, but neither of the d630 XFR's or the XT2 XFR have them. In the pictures, it is hard to tell if the bubbles are between the two glass panes in the lcd, or if they are under the screen protector.
One CF-52, four CF-18's, 4.5 CF-28's, one CF-29, five CF-M34's, two CF-37's, one CF-P2 and two CF-P1's. There are also two Getac A320T's, one Fieldpac and two IBM Transnotes. Not to mention the AMD 5600 CPU with three monitors and several HP PDA's. Whew! Must quit buying...no, must have MORE! Then there are the weapons...

Ineptocracy: A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Is this something they did to add more "shock protection" to the screen? Guessing it would make a replacement screen expensive as hell.

I see they use the same screen in the ATG series too. Looking on several forums it seems to be a problem with some of these dells. The liquid filled ones were there daylight readable one. I see mention that the screen are no longer produced. Wonder if a regular screen would fit in a pinch? Of if it's some kind of cover over a regular screen.
