E6500 Screen Option??

Hi, i'm thinking about getting one for my work. I'm more interested in the red model...anyone has a red model with a 1920x1200 screen. I don't see a option alvalible for color versions? Is the 1440x900 screen nice? I don't like wide screen type display...anyone with a red version or a 1920x1200 screen pls reply...I'm more interested in how it'll look if I were to use it for photoshop!

 

I have the 1440 x 900 screen on my E6500 and it's one of the best laptop screens I've seen in regards to color, contrast, brightness, and viewing angles. I believe they use the same panels as the previous generation Macbook Pros. Highly recommend it!

 

The WXGA+ (1440x900) LED display has a maximum brightness rating of 300 nits and displays about 45% of the color gamut. That's quite a bit brighter than many similar models (220-250 nits) and the 45% color gamut representation is similar to competing models.

The WUXGA (1920x1200) is a dual-lamp (2-CCFL) display with a very bright rating of 350 nits. It can display up to 75% of the color gamut, significantly higher than just about any other laptop in this price range. As a result, this E6500 display delivers the best image quailty. As you noted, the WUXGA is only available on the standard Brushed Metal Black finsih (not Red or Blue). The only other potential issue is the amount of power that it uses- due to the dual-lamp configuration and less efficient CCFL backlighting, the WUXGA display requires about twice the amount of power as the WXGA+ LED.
