    Picture quality is fine, brightness is a tiny bit low. Screen quality is slightly above average compared to other laptops I have seen.

    I don't think the 8662 screen is an LED.
    That being said, I think the picture quality is very good and the brightness is good too. I have no complaints what so ever about the screen. ;)
    EDIT: The screen on mine is made by AU Optronics, if that helps.

    :p

    Ya it's a little dimmer than usual, but if you get the wxga 1920X1200 the quality will be fantastic, as far as I know sager uses the same screens as does apple for the late 2008 series mac

    Mine is very far from dim and I have never seen such a high quality screen and I have seen many screens... Perhaps the only exception is Apple but I believe this is on par

    it is not a led. normal ccfl and imo they are a bit dim but nothing major. not nearly as dim as the matte screen was in the msi 620/1651 system those were VERY DIM. and as far as i can see there are 3 manufactures they are currently using for screens. so its a crap shoot to which you will get.

    Macbook pro late 2008 series and as far as I know, all the 17" laptops... I don't know about the 15.4" but I would assume so
