Did notebookcheck ever do a review on the R2? I see they reviewed the R1 and R3 and M18x but I haven't seen a review on the R2. I was wondering what the maximum nits the RGB screen produced. This is the review for the screen on the R1 apparently:
" The built-in 17.0 inch Dual CCFL display has a 16:10 format and a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels and has an astonishingly high-end quality. Thus, all rates are more than impressive and in comparison to the M17x, the displays of other manufacturers rather look like a bad joke. The brightness is on a very high level with an average of 292 cd/m2. The display gleams over all measure due to this and may turn out to be a serious competitor for some external monitors. The contrast of 743:1 is equally very good; colors appear very vivid and natural. The black value of 0.4 cd/m2 makes sure that black really looks like black and doesn't drift off into gray. The illumination of 89% is also unusually good. You've probably already noticed, no matter if office, image editing, movies or games, the built-in screen always makes an excellent impression."
That does not sound like the dual CCFL screen I remember. They must be mistaking the RGB with the CCFL because the CCFL was TERRIBLE and very dim.
