1200p RGB LED vs. 1200p WUXGA

I am trying to find the real different between the two.

My R2 was shipped with 1200p WUXGA (NOT RGB LED model). It seems like initially it was available longg time ago.

I think that 1200p WUXGA is straight up LCD and RGB one is LED?

Besides the colors popping out in RGB what are some differences that users are noticing?? Brightness??

Let me know. Thank you!

 

RGB LED has higher color gamut, while WUXGA will have less. I'm not sure exactly the percent--but I KNOW the M17xR3 both 120Hz and normal screen has 72% color Gamut.

 

Wow that is really low compared to RGB...

So lower color gamut = less VIVID color??

 

Here is all you need to know: Backlight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

72% NTSC color gamut is fine. That is 72% of the colors that the human eye can see. But at the same time it isn't as bad as it sounds. The sRGB color space, which is probably 99% of what you will on your computer, is only 72% of the NTSC color gamut as well.

 

cool. so basically i wont see any difference much?

 

I can't tell for the 1200p CCFL, but when I switched from the 900p CCFL to the 1200p RGB colors aside, the brightness was much higher and the contrast was better.
As for the image clarity and sharpness I didn't notice any big difference, for cons I ended up losing on vision angles but nothing too bad.

 

I'm not saying that, just that the (possibly) slightly increased color gamut is likely a non-issue. There are other benefits of putting out light around three tight wavelengths like what Iceforge is saying. I don't know for sure between the two monitors, but what he mentioned is definitely a possibility due to the RGB LEDs. Just because it is RGB LED instead of white LED doesn't make it inherently superior, so you would have to base your decision on seeing it yourself or hearing from others who have seen a direct comparison between them. For example a couple of years ago I ordered two of the same model laptop. One for me and one for my girlfriend, and one had an LED backlight while the other had a CCFL backlight. I could not tell the difference at all.

 

cool cool thank you for the input. yeah i guess for me all i need is good resolution!

 

But all the M17X-r2 in the Outlet are WUXGA RGB LED. Is it all true RGB LED or not?

 

I just received a laptop friday that was marked RGB LED but it came with 1440x900. Dell offered me $92 if I kept it. I chuckled a little and remember the good times as I got an RMA set up.

 

The descriptions of the itens appears to be totally random in the site. I was waiting for discount coupons to buy a refurbished one, but now i am a little worried about the specs.

 

RGB LED = red, green, and blue LED backlights for better color reproduction.

The 1200p WUXGA is also LED backlit, just with a white LED backlight like most other screens out there.

 

I think you meant the 1200p dual CCFL WUXGA as the second one, in which case is wrong.
CCFL ≠ LED

Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp ≠ Light Emitting Diode

 

Ah, I was mistaken then. I thought the non-RGBLED 1200p R2 screen was WLED. In any case, dual CCFL isn't much of a difference really.

 

Thanks for the clarification. What would be like an estimated life expectancy of the screen/lamp??

 

Long enough to replace the whole notebook with a quantum tablet..

 

Difference between dual CCFL and RGB is night and day. That's not to say that the dual CCFL is bad, its not, i had it on my M17x R1, just RGB is that much better.

 

What do you think about WXGA+ quality in AW.
I have it now in my M6500 and it's quite good. I saw RGB display in M6500. Looks fantastic, but had too much blue colour. The desktop looks very cold I hope you know what I mean.
I'm afraid RGB in AW will also have too much blue colour what makes the screen looks very cold.
What about performance. CF with 5870m and wxga+ should be enough for next 2-3 years. I'm not sure this config is powerful enough to be able to play BF3 in wuxga res. @~60fps (high settings)

 

It probably looks 'blue' because it needs a little calibration.
