    Hello, wanting feedback about the difference between the 72% NTSC Color Gamut and the 95%. I am leaning towards the Matte finish. On the fence as far as the professional calibration. Also I am wanting to down size from the 17 inch screen down to a 15.6 screen (mostly for weight savings) again wanting feedback as I have heard from some that the downsized screen is difficult to read at the 1900x 1080 native setting. I am looking at the Sager NP9150 vs the NP9170.

    Thanks

    how much do you carry it around? I find reading on it is not that bad for a 15.6 but i always prefer a 17 inch to be honest but if your the traveling type and needs the lightweight laptop then its kinda simply. Personally i would get the 72% gamut unless the 95% was cheap. Also isn't 95% 1bil colors? those screens do look different and some people don't like them if your not doing video/photo editing.

    I have no problems reading text at 1080p, 100% DPI, and on a 15.6" display.
