    Hi, I am thinking in purchasing Panasonic Y4 and I am looking for some opinions.

    I read the review of its predecessor, Panasonic Y2, and the review said that the screen is washed out, the viewing angle is poor and the brightness is not uniform across the screen. Is it still an issue with the Y4?
    How does 1400x1050 resolution looks like with at 14.1" screen? Does the font too small and hard to read?
    Do you have any other opinon about this notebook?

    Thanks in advance!

    I have a Y2 and it is not that big a deal. You just go in and work with the gamma / color controls to tweak it as you like. The reports I have read from those viewing the newer Y4 is that there has been some improvement by Panasonic on the LCD display brightness and "blueish" tint issue.
