    Hi guys, perhaps a few of you will remember that a few weeks ago I posted about my 6214W screen and how unimpressed by it I was. I'm sending my laptop off to Zepto to fix a different problem, but enquired about this new screen. A member of Zepto said a few customers said that the new screen wasn't as good as the old one (the one I currently have, with resolution of 1280*768) so I was wondering if anybody can say in which areas the screen is worse? Viewing angles? Black levels? At the moment, I cant tell the difference between medium and dark black, colours look pale and viewing angles are bad so I'm considering getting my screen changed if possible. Is it possible for anybody to post pictures of this new screen's backlight leakage, black levels, viewing angles, basically anything as I'm desperate!

    Thanks :)

    I might have the new one (bought my 6214 about 3 weeks ago)

    It sucks though :/

    The viewing angles are very very poor
