    Lots of people talk about screen quality/brightness on AW notebooks. I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of the ENVY 14's Radiance vs. M17xR2's RGB vs. M17x R3's 1080p. Personally I've been blown away by my R3's screen (I'm coming from dinodesktop and dinolaptop, which have 1600x900 and 1280x800 respectively, and are/were bright for their time).

    Exactly.... So even though it sounds better to me, I wont be complaining at all! Esp not for the price I got mine.

    If you think the R3's screen is good then you've got to check out the R2's RGB LED J2CY8€170CT(latest version). The M18x & R3 are good screens in their own right but their no RGB LED J2CY8€170CT.

    Link to videos? Would love to check them out. If I could get the 120hz with the 6970 I would, but I dont want the 460.

    Can't blame you there. The 6970 is better than the 460, for sure.
