    Could someone please offer some insight into the difference between the sxga screen and the CV xga...I would like to get the Fujitsu 7000 series and I will be using the notebook mostly for photography on the road and would like to learn more about the differences between these screens.
    Thanks
    Stan

    sorry this probably won't be helpful but it's one of those things you'll juat have to see for yourself. Go to a Bestbuy and look at the HP's and the Averatecs. That will give you a good indication of the difference between cv and non-cv.

    sxga+ VS xga, you can do that on your own monitor. Just change the res to 1024x768 for xga and 1400x1050 for sxga+. Compare, see what matters more, the glossy screen or the screen resolution and then YOU decide.

    Right, you need to see an enhanced dispaly to understand the difference. It's a glossy, reflective display that makes colors very bright and vivid. I love them, some people don't, it's compeltely personal.

    I can confirm the SXGA+ screen is evenly lit from side-to-side, top-to-bottom, readable under the lowest light setting (I prefer middle setting for most applications), and details are impressively sharp and crisp. There are zero bad pixels on my device, the S7010D. Once you're used to the 1400x1050 resolution on a 14" screen, you'll cringe at how dated an SVGA 1024x768 screen looks. My 2 cents...

    I'm normally a big fan of higher resolution, but I'd opt for Crystal View in this case. For normal use, it's not as big a deal, but if you do anything visual with the notebook whether its graphics, digital photos, gaming, watching movies, the vibrance and brilliance of an enhanced display is too good to pass up. Go to the store and compare a non-enhanced to an enhanced screen to see the difference. You'll not want to go back. It's also better on your eyes especially for those of us with less than perfect vision.
