    I dont have the time, but you can check out the pics on the Geared2play.com website. They've got some shots of the screen there.

    I honestly don't think it will do you any good. LCD screens don't take pictures well, so you won't really know what it looks like until you see it in front of you. Until then, the best bet is to listen carefully to the opinions of others. The screen on the Z70v has gotten rave reviews, so I'd guess it would be good for you as well.

    ^^^^ what djembe said. I tried taking pictures of the screen.

    a.) my camera sucks.
    b.) ergo, my pictures sucked.
    c.) concordantly, you'll have to take my word for it when i say the screen is good. No "sparkles", lots of brightness, consistent lighting,... viewing angles... my opinion is that the vertical could be better, but it's not a severe issue. The simplest solution I find is to slowly reach out, form a "V" between your thumb and four fingers, grasp the lid gently but firmly, apply pressure either forwards or backwards... the problem will pretty much solve itself. this method has given me hours of viewing pleasure! thank you god, for the opposable thumb....




    (it's midnight and i got home from work 2 hours ago, so you may have to excuse my twisted humour... i'm tired all right?!) =P
