    If you get the brightview, you will likely not notice a difference from the screens youve used. But if you get the Radiance, you will say "wow!!!!" then when you look at that same old screen after using the radiance you will see a hugggge difference. At least that is my experience.

    If you can afford it, I recommend the radiance screen. Excellent brightness and image quality. It's one of the defining qualities of the Envy 14.
