    How does this screen do for viewing blu-ray movies? I know that everyone is raving about the RGBLED, but if this option is still good, then I'll go with it, because it's about $250 cheaper...

    I would like to know how this screen fares as well. I don't really care about the increased color accuracy, but I would like a even lighting and decent contrast. Anyone with experience with this new option?

    Me too. I'm hoping the 15.6 screens will have better color accuracy because the RGBLED has very off Reds that look pinkish.

    The screen should be fine...blu-ray is not wide gamut, so it should look fine....

    Who cares about 100% color gamut when it gives you over saturation? Not I. I'm fine with a screen like the Sony FW. It has great colors. Who needs RGBLED, and for what? lol

    The reds look deep red on my screen, not pink.

    Mine are perfectly red as well.
    You guys are just looking for an excuse to spend less money... ;), you won't be happy with any of the screens.
