    Are the newer built notebooks coming out with the AUO screen?

    I've heard the AUO screen is the best followed by samsung and toshiba.

    Which screens do you have? thanks

    mine arrives tomorrow and I just really hope I don't have to call a tech and have him come and replace it.

    That's why I'm curious if the newer ones are being shipped with the AUO screen. The toshiba is awful so I've heard.

    thank you thank you. I hope I'll be staying in the M1210 family.

    If it's as bad as they say it is, then I'll be going to the Sony SZ.

    I really hope I'm not disappointed with the screen and I really hope that it's a AUO.

    I liked my samsung without cam much better than my aou with cam, the colors were much sharper and the backlight was much more uniform resulting in better viewing angles.
