About to pull the trigger on this. I like really glossy screens with rich colors for watching Blu-Rays and playing games.

- How deep are the blacks? Are they deep, "inky" looking blacks?

- How bright does the screen get?

- How rich are the colors?

Any comparisons to other LCD / LED screens would be great.

The screen is great, I love it. The only thing I have to compare it to is my Dell Vostro 1500. It's bright enough that when I go back to the Dell, I feel like there's something wrong the the LCD on the Dell, like it's only on half brightness (it's on full).

I don't know what to tell you on the blacks.. I've never looked at a black and been like "wow! that's really black!"

Rich colors is really subjective, but the default Windows 7 backgrounds really pop and are vibrant.

As I said, I don't have much to compare it to, but it's hands down the best laptop screen I've ever used.
