    I googled a bit and couldn't find much on the screen quality for the m14x. The 900p display. The display is one of the most important aspects to me, so I was curious to the quality and accuracy of it. Thank you.

    I'm not sure about accuracy, but for me it is nice and bright and the colors look fine when gaming or doing any other tasks. But the screen is like a vampire--get it any where near sunlight and it just dies. The reflections make it almost impossible to use.

    How are the viewing angles?

    Is there noticeable faded colors when looking direct on?

    All screens are reflective now, a matte screen is very hard to find. Having said that, I use mine EVERYWHERE. McDonalds/Starbucks at least once a day. My office, my home, in my Jeep. Outside in sunlight, its less than perfect haha but otherwise, its a solid performer, and quite accurate when calibrated (yes, i used a spectrophotometer)
