    Guys, in the poll, pick what you've got, while here please comment:
    1. What panel did you decide to go with WXGA, WXGA TrueLife or WXGA+ ?
    2. What was your reasoning?
    3. Are you happy or kinda wondering?
    4. Did you have a chance to compare with any other type?

    If you haven't purchased yours yet, I would still like to hear our opinion.

    I guess I'll start
    1. I ordered WXGA+ TrueLife
    2. simply because they've got the best deal going on 1.6Ghz,WXGA+,2Gb,120Gb,DVDRW.9cell - $649 and you can't pick any other screen (I wanted WXGA)
    3. I'm very worried
    4. No

    1. WXGA+ with TrueLife
    2. Increase in resolution from 1280x800 to 1440x900
    3. Very happy! I was worried at first because I heard that the gloss would make the display difficult to look at under certain conditions. The gloss isn't even noticeable most of the time, and does seem to make colors look brighter.
    4. Had an ASUS laptop before with a matte screen.

    I ordered WXGA matte. After my last Notebook I wouldn't touch glossy with a ten foot pole.
