    Hello all,
    I had a question about the nc8430's screen. I see that there are two options, a WXGA and a WSXGA+ with WVA (wide viewing angles). I was curious if anyone has seen or had any experience with the WXGA screen. I saw in another thread that the owner the nc8430 with a WSGA+ was very pleased with the screen's brightness, sharpness, and viewing angles. Does the WXGA possess similar qualities, at least as far as brightness and sharpness are concerned?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    wxga screens tend to lack the viewing angles and sharpness compared to the wsxga screen because they are cheaply made...either way its probably best to check it out at your best buy/compusa and see if it suits you
