hp envy 17 3d screen vs alienware m17x 3d screen

i am in the market for a new laptop. was thinking of getting a 17 inch 3d machine and have narrowed it down to 2. just wondering if anyone has seen both of these screens and can compare them.

base model alienware is about 300 dollars more than envy 3d quick ship with compareable specs. alienware has hdmi in which is pretty cool. also has nvidia which i prefer.

new envy looks pretty sweet. i currently have an envy 14 and am very pleased with the build quality of it. if anyone can comment on alienware build quality vs envy that would be apprecited too.

i think for me it would come down to screen quality on this as i am quite unsatisfied with the screen on my envy 14. the new envy 15 (if has ips panel) also has my attention as well. would probably be willing to drop down screen size and give up 3d if the 15's screen will be far and away better.

 

I owned both. The Alienware screen was slightly better (Liked the colors better and the blacks were darker) but if you go 3D on the Alienware you lose any type of graphic switching which means you get like an hour of battery life. That killed it for me I just don't see the purpose of a laptop with no battery life. Dell also busts your balls on returns while HP is much easier to deal with.
