    The market for slimmer notebook PCs with LED backlights (including 9.1" and larger netbooks) is forecast to double its share, from 16% in Q1'10 to 31% in Q4'10.

    If they would start making notebooks with 1920x1200 resolution with the slimmer LED screens i would actually be happy.
    Too bad its a big chance it will never happen. :(

    Thanks for posting this anyways.

    It is. My GX640 is still TFT backlit. Anyway, I must say it's one of the nicer TFT screens I have seen, the blacks on here are very black, colors are vibrant, although the maximum brightness isn't super high. The lid seems really thin, too, though. Hmm.

    I am all for LED screens, but the majority are poor quality. I cant stand all these 1366x768 screens with poor contrast and blacks and tight viewing angles :(

    Panels and backlights are different technologies, the resolution and viewing angles are related to the panel, while the panel and backlight both contribute to the contrast.
