    Hey all - I'm tempted to snag one of these before the $500 off deal ends. Dropped by Best Buy today but they don't have any with LED backlits and coming from a gorgeous Sager antiglare display I'm seriously disappointed about all of the new glossy screens. Best Buy's ONLY non-glossy laptops are a) Macs, b) Asus EEEPCs....sad sad sad...

    SO - couple people please please post any pics or links to pics you might have of these laptops with LED backlits? We want to see direct comparisons of the LED backlit displays vs. the normal brightview. I have yet to see a single posting anywhere of the LED dv4/5t's!

    You haven't seen pics of LED on the DV5t b/c HP doesn't offer it on that laptop.

    And you mentioned that you wanted a less-glossy screen, but the LED screens are just as glossy as the non-LED. Most consumer laptops you will find, whether LED or CCFL backlit, are going to have glossy screens because they make the colors look more vibrant. Most business models have matte-finish screens, so you may want to consider a business model from HP if you don't like the glossy screen on the dv4/5 series.

    can anyone say for sure which looks better? does it (LED version) compare to fujitsu 17" lifebook displays like the n6460?
