    Hi all,

    I am going to buy a 6400 soon, but I was concerned with the low
    screen quality and light leakage problems. I will mostly use the laptop for
    reading and writing, and less for games and movies.

    I am not sure, but I believe I prefer a matte screen. Are the mattes better
    than the glossies when it comes to light leakage? Or is it vice versa?

    Is there any difference in terms of screen quality between the wxga and wsxga
    screens? Especially considering the light leakage? I feel like wsxga+ is unnaturally
    tiny for reading and writing.
