[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1777257] Re: Dell Inspiron 17r 5737 Ubuntu 18.04 Video Looks Very Strange
A recent update has fixed it! 18.04 as released comes with kernel 4.15.0-20-generic, which has the bad video effect. Latest update (2/7/2018) includes 4.15.0-24-generic, which does not (it works perfectly).

Hi Christopher. Answering your questions in turn: 1) All I can say for the moment is that it was OK in Ubuntu 17.10 and not OK in 18.04. 2) The monitor is actually a Samsung television, model no. UE40EH5000. However, I want to be clear that the issue is with the screen in the laptop itself, not anything external. The issue occurs whether or not an external monitor (television) is connected. 3) Straight HDMI cable.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1777257] Re: Dell Inspiron 17r 5737 Ubuntu 18.04 Video Looks Very Strange
Merlin: I) The scope of LP#1300349 is how a pre-3.18-rc4 kernel had an issue, which 3.18-rc4 fixed. However, you are using a 4.15 kernel. Hence, the scope and root cause are different (i.e. not relevant). II) In order to allow additional upstream mainline kernel developers to examine the issue, at your earliest convenience, could you please test the latest mainline kernel? Please keep in mind the following: 1) The one to test is in a folder at the very top of the page (not the daily folder). 2) The release names are irrelevant. 3) The folder time stamps aren't indicative of when the kernel actually was released upstream. 4) Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . If testing on your main install would be inconvenient, one may: 1) Install Ubuntu to a different partition and then test this there. 2) Backup, or clone the primary install. If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the mainline kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is not reproducible in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the Bug Description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where X, and Y are the first two numbers of the kernel version, and Z is the release candidate number if it exists. If the issue is reproducible with the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream. Also, you don't need to apport-collect further unless specifically requested to do so. It is most helpful that after testing of the latest mainline kernel is complete, you mark this report Status Confirmed. Lastly, to keep this issue relevant to upstream, please continue to test the latest mainline kernel as it becomes available. Thank you for your help. ** Description changed: When booting 18.04 on my Dell 5737 built-in screen the colours are incorrect and the display looks to be of low resolution.
