    OK can some tell me why the angle of view is better on the Envy than my DV6173CL? I was at costco and saw the Envy and noticed the screen. I do a lot of picture processing on site and that makes a big difference. If I adjust my screen it can change the appearance. When I am trying to tell if an image is to dark or light that can really screw me up. When I move the screen on the envy it stayed almost the same? Both are LED screens so what gives?

    I am still in my return window at costco.

    The Envy 15 2011 seems to have an IPS screen. This kind of screen is relatively rare in laptop displays. They generally have very good viewing angles.

    That is interesting, it really does make a nice difference. It really does not depend on the angle of view. This is important in determining if a shot is over or underexposed. Thanks
