NOW I am stoked! (95% gamut screen just calibrated)

Sounds like they're more likely to have weird color tints if not calibrated, but once they're calibrated properly look a lot better than the stock screens. Personally, I'm planning to buy a Spyder to keep my screen calibrated. Still undecided if the high-gamut screen is worth it for me or not. It'd be great if there were a way to see them side by side.

 

If you have the cash why not?

It's an icing on the cake

And the screen is good but you have to be willing to shell out a bit extra for the Spyder to fully enjoy the wide range of colors.

If you are on a tight tight budget I would say you could live without it, but the screen upgrade was very sarisfactory.

Well, it's not really about whether or not I have the money for it (I do) but whether or not it's worth it to me. I wish I lived near the retailer I'm doing business with (Mythlogic) so I could see the screens for myself. I kind of told myself I was only going to spend a certain amount, and I'm already about $60 over, so the screen would add another $190, lol.

 

I am in a similar situation. All of the screens I have ever used have been matte screens, and I do not want that to change. I want to get the NP9170 with a matte screen, but if I add it the price goes too high.

Without the option of a low cost matte screen, I will probably wait awhile to get a laptop.
