    I know it is a 1920x1080 matte screen, but that is about it. Does any one know more, gamut values, contrast etc.? The manufacturer guards the specifications of his products like a military secret, so I can't get the specs from there.

    I believe it's a traditional 72% panel which is reasonable but not quite to the specification of the V5 at 90%.

    No,\the V.5 is a 72% non-glare screen. I have a pdf of the specs. I would like to upload the pdf, but it exceeds the rather small 0.5MB that is allowed.

    You found the specs for the V.4 panel, but not the V.7 ;)

    Maybe, but there are glare and non-glare screens, 72% and 90% NTSC screens. The only difference is the V.n sub part-number.
    By the way, I have the specs of the V.0, V.4 and V.5 versions.

    There is only one 90% 17.3" panel and it is glossy. No matte one.

    Gentlemen, you both build notebooks, so I suppose it is also possible for a customer to choose what kind of screen he wants. Can't you ask the supplier(s) of the screens for the specifications?

    If you have a place to buy a V7 we would be more than happy to get one on a colormeter and tell you what it is, but the V7 doesn't appear on any AUO roadmaps, so its a little hard for us to get them
