    I know it has IPS display but is the screen quality good for viewing pics and watching videos?

    Brightness? Contrast ratio and black levels? Vivid Colors?

    Thanks :)

    It's pretty bright ~300Nits
    Contrast is high at nearly 1000:1
    I can't remember what the black levels were but they are excellent.

    The only change I made was bumping the saturation up a little to make the color "pop" a little more. Other than that, it's a beautiful screen.

    I noticed you got 9 cell, if i do get the 6 cell, i can still get around 5-7 hours of battery? How many hours do you get on a 9 cell?

    It all depends on you're doing. I've noticed that I use around 10Whr (9ish hours) on average when web surfing while watching a few videos and listening to music. Just web surfing I get around 12 hours out of it. (Brightness is usually at 8.) I think 5-7 hours on the 6 cell is achievable for most people.
