    Hey guys quick question, (New to NBR, sorry if it s a noob question Lol)

    I will be buying the m17x r3 soon, and was wondering if i need the 1920x1080 60 hz wled screen (is a optional Upgrade) to be able to play through a FHD TV (which will also be 1080p), as i will be getting a 32 Inch (1080p) F HD TV to plug into my laptop?

    Or will i be able to just use the stock Screen which is only 1600x900 60Hz Wled? and still get a good picture? > FHD.

    Also will there be any delay from my laptop to the 32" screen??

    Thanks guys.

    Having the 1600x900p screen won't affect connecting you laptop to a 1080p screen, but I don't recommend the 900p screen as I have had both and the 900p one is nothing compared to the 1080p one. That is, of course, your choice to make whether you care about the screen res on the laptop or not. The only delay you will get will be from the 32" screen you bought itself. Do a google search on it and try to find the response time, it will be in "ms"

    Def get the 1080p. You will regret it later. There's been couple of members here who ended up returning/selling because they weren't satisfied.

    I have the 900p screen and wish I had the 1080p screen, but I got such a deal on this laptop that I cant really argue. Someday I may look into replacing the whole lid piece to get 1080p though.

    1080p for sure. Nothing improves display like resolution.

    You do not need the 1080p screen to play through a FHD TV, but you should get the 1080p screen as it will improve the picture quality a lot.

    The screen is one of the most important parts of the laptop.
