    what? Nut? you mean not?

    I think the 900 screen is fine for gaming, although I know people will have their opinions about this. Me personally, I went with the higher res screen because of the RGB LED option, which I wanted on my m17x. :p

    I think it'll only be good for nut. Gamers prefer 1080p... with RGB that is.

    900p is fine. on a little screen like the 17", you won't see any real difference. you can just hook your laptop up to an external monitor or HDTV for the 1080p.

    If you can, go for the RBG screen, it makes a BIG difference.

    But for general gaming, I've had no problems with 1440x900. It also gives you better framerates, as you're not playing at a higher res.

    All that power and no 1200P screen? Why nut get the 1200P? I'd only recommend a 1400x900 screen if your getting a single GPU but to each his own.
