    Hi,

    I've looked at the specifications for viewing angles for the WXGA and WSXGA on the i6000 and have come across the following as lots of you have yet seen on Dell's US website:

    http://www1.us.dell.com/content/learnmore/learnmore.aspx?c=us&l=en&ref=CFG&s=gen&~id=screen_inspn&~line=notebooks&~lt=popup&~model=6000&~series=inspn&~tab=details

    so the WXGA have +10°/-30° for vertical viewing angles whereas the WSXGA has +50°/-50°!!!

    However looking at the french Dell's website, it seems the WXGA has the same brightness and the same viewing angles than the WSXGA!!

    The same information (no difference in viewing angles or brightness) is "confirmed" on this page:

    Who is right then? Does Dell features different screens depending on the market?
