Inspiron 9400 operator here... and I never noticed a jolt. If it makes a difference, I did not upgrade to the super shiny display. I would have, but work wouldn't pay for it since it's a business laptop.
I have an Inspiron 9400, with the Truelife 17" WUXGA (1920x1200) and have *never* experienced such an issue. Not in my house, not on the road, not at my office nor those of my customers... I live in The Netherlands and we have 230v AC, but I went to the US last year and brought the 9400 with me and didn't experience this issue either. My collegue owns a 9300 with the same 17" WUXGA screen and I never heard anything like this from him..
Perhaps this "ViriiGuy" dude needs to take a look at the powersources in his house and make sure everything is grounded properly, so he doesn't get static shocks.
One thing: the 9400 does get a little heated over time, always make sure you place it on a flat surface so there remains an airflow underneath it.

It's rarely used off my desk, though.
