    I can't decide between these two lapops. I absolutely love the screen on the FZ190, and it has a better video card at the expense of poorer battery life. On the other hand, the m1330 has nice battery life with the 9-cell battery and a slower graphics card. For what I am going to use it for, I think I like the longer battery life.

    What I am not sure about is the screen on the m1330. I have seen the FZ190 in person, but not the m1330. How do these two screens compare?

    I am sending back my 1520 right now because of the grainy screen, so I am reluctant to trust the screen on the m1330. Please tell me your thoughts on the m1330's screen.

    Only a couple of people on the forum actually have one to look at in person. You cant compare them in Dell Kiosks because they dont stock them yet. Since this is the Dell forum and Im baised because I ordered a XPS 1330, Im going to say Dell.

    Your choice should be based on usage and purpose.

    Yeah, that is true, but a bad screen is a deal breaker for me, so I want to be sure. I would really rather order the m1330 because I like the design.
