    Well I was about to order a Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2 or I9300 until I read all the reviews saying the screen sucks. Is it really that bad? Which is better - the Gen 2 or I9300? Price is not a concern for me. How does it compare to the HP Compaq nx8220? Not sure how the screen quality is on the Compaq since I coulnd'nt find a review on it.

    Anyways, suggestions is really appreciated.

    The XPS Gen2 is going to be better, the screen everyone is talking about is the one with truelife on the 9300 but i heard that it is just a problem if you get the LG screen.
    I just steered way and got the other screen truelife wasnt that big a deal for me.

    as for comparison not sure about the nx8220 but on the ZD8000/X6000 that i had both of the screens looked great. I hope my 9300 screen will be this nice.
    I'll post back in a week when it gets here.
