    I was looking at this model, too, but can't find anything about it. Have you tested this yet?

    Prepost edit: I actually just ordered it, so hopefully it's nothing but good if you've tested that...

    imo sucks. i tried two. they were both a bit grainy and not nearly as bright as the tl a2 or tl a5. also had much worse viewing angles than the tl a5 or tl a2 (newer panels from late 2007) the two i have here tested at under 200 nits. one issue you will have is the top and bottom brackets may have to be removed to fit your notebook properly as the a4 k6 is technically a dell model (df028) and has the top and bottom brackets riveted on, they come off pretty easy.

    the tl a6 is a very old model though and both i received are 2005 models.. imo not the best panel
