    Does anyone here have a 1600x900p screen in their R3?

    I was curious how the quality is, and if they experience a washed out over bright screen. (Blacks really looking grey)

    Thx in advance.

    I currently have the 1600x900 in my laptop because my lcd needed to be replaced due to a QC issue, but I will have the 1080p back soon. The quality compared to the 1080p is insane. The 1080p is way brighter and has so much more space to work with. I would not recommend the 1600x900 screen to anyone. I have noticed blacks look kind of washed out and grey. I find the screen so bad that I am using a 4 year old external 1440x900 lcd monitor, I refuse to use the laptop lcd. It is also much better than the laptop lcd panel.

    Great Thanks! I am going to have them swap it out too. The colors on this are rediculous. The blacks are not black at all. LOL.

    Anyways.. I appreciate the input, perhaps this thread will help others.
