    If anyone has an r2 and r3 could you please take a pic for me of the 2 panels side by side full brightness with the same picture/ desktop?

    I will never buy a 60hz panel on r3 ever again. I returned my 120hz panel but bought another one which I'll get this weekend. Last week I picked up my r2 with RGB and even though the system specs aren't nearly as powerful as an r3 I am debating on keeping it or selling it for a 120hz r3. If anyone has both panels and coil comment on them side by side that would be great pics would be great too!!

    My real dilemma is the r2 I bought isn't the fastest but it's brand new and perfect in every way. I got it for a steal of a price and I want to keep it but I can sell it for twice what I paid. I have people lined up already. For the price I can buy a 940xm version but I'm iffy about a refurb. Or I can get an r3 if I think the panel is good enough and pocket some cash since they go for good prices on the outlet. Problem is the panel I've decided is THE most important feature of my machine. After using this rgb I absolutely love the colors and depth and the ... Everything about it. Decisions decisions...

    The R2's RGB LED Panel is the best Alienware panel. Period.

    Was it cost cutting that led to the cheaper display options on the R3's?

    Not sure why Alienware would have pulled the better displays given the high-end nature of these laptops... They're not Emachines.... People are willing to pay the money.
