    One of my biggest deciding factors is the screen. As I have purchased laptops in past with horrible screens and want to avoid doing so again. I want a bright screen but without grey blacks... My Acer top I have now is horrible its grey and as soon as I tilt to side or view above or below the colors wash out its crap.. How will sagers compare?

    I'd really like a list of models that have IPS displays or are they all the same?

    So far the only one I know is the 13.3 inch model but now with the new 970m/980m cards I'm looking at 15.6inchers but don't think any are IPS? And if any 17s have them I might be willing to go that big also.

    If not IPS how are the screens will they be better than what I have now?

    Acer are not known for picking good panels. The regular tn 1080p panels should be a step up. The IPS one would be another step beyond that.

    Thanks for the heads up on the new model it looks perfect. Exactly what I'm looking for as far as what I have read so far.
