    Those are average viewing angles, maybe slightly above average.
    The screen is ok but nothing special.
    Pick the DC2 panel if you need the wow effect ;)

    Here's our review of the 8540w; it has the 1600x900 display:
    HP EliteBook 8540w Mobile Workstation Review
    In short, it's better than most laptop displays but not anything close to the optional DreamColor 2 panel. See the link ^ in Aikimox's sig to see what it's like.
