    Looking on ordering one of these in the next day or two, but I'm having a hard time trying to decide which screen option to go for. I currently use a
    19" lcd at home at 1440x900, but on this 14" screen I'm unsure of whether or not I'd actually like the 1440x900. Anyone have any thoughts between these 2 options:

    14.1 WXGA+ TFT, w/ CCFL Backlight

    14.1 WXGA TFT High Nit, w/ LED Backlight

    I'm assuming that the new panel is the High Nit, and not the basic one the laptop ships with?

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.....

    Yes you are correct. It offers better brightness and battery life.

    It appears to be a pretty pricey option at rougly the $100+. Maybe the WXGA+ at $30 is a better option. Hrm, would love to see others thoughts...

    They don't make near as many of them, which is why they cost more.

    I personally would stay away from the ccfl and I do stay away from 14 inchers to begin with.

    i would go for CCLF,
    the led is 2 bring (nearly white), and the color looks "bluer"
