    I stopped reading at page 15, only 90 more pages to go... but is this true? Does the 1920x1200 2CCFL screen have a matte finish? that would be so nice, I hate the glossy screens...

    i can confirm that, since i have the dualccfl screen.

    its a nice matte screen :)

    its also extremely bright, its either 350 or 400 nits i cant remember, the RGBLED display is 450nits.

    in comparison, average notebook displays are 200-250nits

    if you're in a meeting room or a classroom, and they dim the lights for a presentation, you need to turn down the backlight on ur notebook because it really does light up the room!

    colour accuracy is excellent on the dualccfl, makes most other laptops look yellowish and poor when you put it side by side

    ok, this might be a dumb question, but... how will I know (before I order) if it's 2CCFL? Obviously the RGBLED should be identified as such, but is there a non-RGB, non-2CCFL WUXGA offering that I might get stuck with? So far, all the screens in the Outlet are listed as "Ultra Sharp" - which I think might mean that they are glossy.

    no, its either RGBLED or 2CCFL

    thers no "1CCFL"

    ultrasharp is what they call all their high resolution displays

    AG is antiglare (matte)

    Truelife is glossy

    basically if it dosent say truelife, its an AG screen

    UltraSharp screens have greater brightness and image quality than the regular screens, as well as better viewing angles. Just so happens the higher resolutions are UltraSharps, but not necessarily high in resolution (e.g. the WXGA+).
