    Hi there,

    I'm thinking about buying a XPS 15 from dell and my finger is hovering over the order button. However there's a just a couple of opinions I would like first.

    In regards to the screen,firstly I'm not prepared to pay the extra for the full HD 1080P LCD but also I suffer from eye strain(I'm using a 13.3 at 720P ATM) so didn't really want the higher resolution anyway. I know you can change the DPI etc but it's still not quite the same.

    So in regards to the standard display, what are the viewing angles and Black levels like? I'm going to use it to watch a lot of films and be using iPlayer etc.. So these two points are realy important. So will the standard panel be good enough?

    Thanks in advance.
