    I am interested in a Dell XPS 13 9350 but currently concerned about the 1080P FHD screen in the model I can afford.

    I currently use a Lenovo G510 with a truly dire screen, so definitely want a clear upgrade from this!

    The UK review of the XPS 9350 in English language has the following:
    "Dell also quotes the brightness as the same as before (400 nits), but our measurements differed significantly; our lab recorded an average brightness of just 276 cd/m²" But they never retested it, and say the panel is the same as in the previously excellent 9343 which does score 400nits.

    9343: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-XPS-13-Early-2015-Notebook-Review.139382.0.html

    So 9350 owners, can we comment on screen brightness? Has anyone got a link to a better test?
    A lot of the reviews on notebookcheck have typos and grammar mistakes that make the reviews hard to read and it is often easy to come away with the wrong impression.

    Many thanks,

    I have 9360 FHD version.
    Screen brightness at 100% white page (remember, we have CABC) is just 270 nits (actual measure), with horrible color gamut.
    It's total, absolute crap.
