    I'm thinking of buying the CyberpowerPC Fangbook IV, model, SX6-800. But the screen is FHD. I dont think they make it with IPS. I got 2 questions:

    1) Is the screen bad compared an IPS? Would I be disappointed?

    2 ) Can I replace the screen for IPS?

    Generally speaking an IPS screen offers wide viewing angles. This is important because as you move away from the optimal viewing angle, colors start to invert. A good example of this can be found here in the NBR Review of the T60p. Scroll down to the screen pictures to see what I mean. The other important attribute an IPS gets you is high contrast, which is the difference in color, so the higher the contrast, the better the image quality. Is that worth the cash? I would say yes, but it's your money, not mine.
