    I need/want 100% confirmation on if it is an LED screen, and the resolution.
    Only if you got it from newegg. Thanks

    its a 1280x800 resolution, still trying to find out how to see if its LED
    there is however a label warning about mercury recycling of the screen, i've been told that means it is an LCD

    The N80Vn-X5 was confirmed as LCD, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the A1 yet.

    They're all LCD. But LED or CCFL.

    On the 27th i sent an email to newegg to find the resolution of the A1.
    This is my email:

    Message: Hi, I was wondering if the Asus N80Vn-A1 model that is featured on newegg site is actually offered with the 14.1'' screen as WXGA+? This question arises because I saw the same model on different sites and they do not show the N80Vn-A1 having the WXGA+ screen. So if you could confirm whether the screen is WXGA+ or not would be helpful as I am thinking of buying it and would like to know about the screen before hand. Thanks

    and this is neweggs reply which i got today from their customer service:

    Dear Customer,

    Thank you for contacting Newegg.

    All the information you see on Newegg.com comes directly from the manufacturer. We guarantee the information provided on our website. Unfortunately, any additional information that is not specified on our webpage will have to be obtained from the manufacturer. In this case, we recommend you to contact the manufacturer. We are sorry for being unable to accommodate your request at this time.
    If you have any further questions or concerns, please visit our FAQs page. If you still need assistance, please feel free to email me directly and I will be happy to assist you.


    Thank you,

    Alex Villarino


    So now I am wondering if i should go buy the X5 or wait for someone else here to clear up the matter on A1 and then make my final decision on what to buy.

    I'm not so sure. I bought my N80Vn-A1 from Amazon this week and it was clearly advertised there as LED; on arrival the sticker on the machine confirmed LED as well (so does its brightness and lack of flicker or need to warm up). That's the good news. The bad news is it was $50 more than the NewEgg price which MAY account for the lack of LED on the NewEgg model... it seems every seller who offers the LED backlight talks it up and there's not a peep on the NewEgg site about LED on either of the N80 models they carry.

    Anyone bought from the Egg and know for sure???

    forget emailing newegg just call them its easy

    are you talking about this one

    so this is a 1280x800 WXGA, and i think that the only difference with the A1 and the X5 is the cpu and the hd speed (says 5400 for a1 and 7200 for x5) there may be other differences but my guess is that the screen should be the same

    heehee i had a little laughing fit today when i looked down at the wrist rest stickers, on the left sid sticker it says Color Shine Glare-Type LCD, on the right side it has a sticker listing the laptop's specifications, under display : 14" WXGA/LED :p
    did anyone who bought the A1 from newegg get a reciept in the package? or is the invoice email the reciept? curious
