    Maybe they also use different panels like in my M570TU I have a AU Optronics panel while others report they have an LG panel. The AU Optronics panels suck. Maybe you should wait until you actually get it and hopefully you get a good panel?

    Yes but what if someone has one with a crappy panel and if you would order one you would get a decent panel or the other way around??

    almost every sager or clevo from the usa has used the same panel. it seems they use different models from eurocom or from europe. so thats wht i asked for a sager owner to post the hardware id hence the 8660 model number
