    Pretty simple question, Which notebook manufacturer do you think sells the brightest and best looking screens.

    There is a wide swath between vibrant and accurate LCD screens. A lot of people call the dell and apple screens "bland" and so on, but their colors (dells' ultrasharp) are DEAD on if you are doing important color work. I have seen many screens that are very "vibrant" but they clip like heck and it just looks... like crap. I don't need everything to be neon green, neon blue, and neon orange and... you get the point.

    That being said, the Dell Ultrasharp 20" desktop screens are awesome, and the apple's come in a close second (better on some points) As far as laptops go... they are are literally crap compared to these... but the apples are the best of the bunch I believe with sony in second.

    As tsunamifury hinted at this is a very subjective question. I like Sony and Asus even tho they may be as accurate as some others and glossy Asus shows reflections pretty bad.
    Better/worse? IDK I just like the way they look better than others I have seen.
