    Hi,

    Just wondering what the standard WUXGA panel would be on the 8740w?

    a) RGB-LED backlit? Is this the dreamcolor variant?
    b) W-LED?
    c) CCFL?
    d) or what?

    Thanks,

    Sam

    The standard (WVA) WUXGA panel on the 8740w is a W-LED TN panel. The Dreamcolor is a RGB-LED IPS panel.
