    I am planning to get the precision m6600 primarily for programming purposes. However, I wanted to find out what the display quality is like. I just walked into a Best Buy and fell in love with the display on the latest Sony Vaio F Series. The display is simply amazing! But all I could find out about it was that it was a 1920x1080 16.4 inch.

    I had recently ordered the Latitude E6520, but promptly returned it the very next day because the display (1920x1080) sucked (compared to the Latitude E4300 I am using currently). Everything was way too small and the colors seemed washed out and seemed like there was a bluish tint. So I decided to try the Precision instead.

    The display on the Sony Vaio F (which has a reasonable quad core configuration except that it maxes out at 8GB RAM) is so good that I feel like I'd want to use the laptop just to look at the display! Everything was so crisp, matte, not too bright, no reflection, just right. By contrast, with the Latitude E6520, I got a headache just after using it for 15 mins (to be fair, it was a 15.6 inch, so everything was smaller).

    However, I am still interested in getting the Precision (primarily for the much better Dell support, and also the more extensible configuration), but not if the display quality will be more like the Latitude E6520 than the Sony. Wondering if anyone seen both and could give me a fair comparison. Or is there anyway to determine the actual display technologies used so I can know what to expect with the Precision?
    Thanks!
