    If someone had a chance to compare these dispalys i would like to hear his opinion. Is there any noticeable difference in clarity and reflection.
    Thanks

    It depends on what notebooks exactly you are talking about.

    Terms like vibrantview, brightview, trubrite indicate a glossy coating. This glossy coating makes whites look whiter and colors look fuller but it increases reflections.

    Sony X Black sometimes is less reflective than it's competitors. But again it depends on the notebook.

    For detailed reviews of screens look at Notebookcheck.com

    Thanks for the link Phil. According to notebookcheck vibrantview and brightview are better then xblack and trubrite (15 and 16 inch displays). Not sure about reflection.

    I wouldn't read technical reviews of these technologies in order to establish which screens are better; I would recommend that you see them all in person.

    Screen quality is dependent on personal preference, to a limited extent, of course.

    It doesn't really work that way, one Brightview screen can be very good, the other one can be mediocre.

    It depends on the model and the panel that's being used.
