    help me out with this. is there a thread or a web link somewhere that is current, which lists out the best displays available currently?
    I'm sure there are several ways to sort/organize such; by size, by resolution, by finish [matte, antiglare, gloss, clear.... whatever]
    and I don't care whether its available in a package of a certain model i.e. macbook retina, or via diy upgrade.

    How do you define best? Best color reproduction? Best for gaming/response time? Best resolution? Best viewing angles? Best quality/price ratio? Also, finish is highly subjective - some people prefer matte, some prefer glossy. So as you can see, the answers to these questions can be vastly different...

    I agree Zenbook prime or Viao Z even the older Z1 has a great screen

    thank you for the update, I shall see if I can find more current information on the newer Envy as well as make/model of the panel

    I would add and then divide. At least that's what I assume people do unless otherwise noted.
