    Can anyone confirm the NC10 has an led backlit screen?

    I cannot find any official information on this and samsungs site doesn't say much about the display which leads me to believe that it's not led backlit. I've also seen one video review and the reviewer mentioned that it wasn't led based.

    However, every press release says it's an led backlit display.

    So I'm looking for a definitive answer.

    Also has anyone seen the screen compared to the 1000h or msi wind u100?

    The NC10 is still too new but I had the same concern as you since the laptopmag video preview threw me off. If the LCD isn't LED backlit, it'd be a notable first in the netbook space and disappointing since the NC10 carries a premium price tag.

    I am gonna venture a guess that the reviewer was wrong.

    Yeah that's what threw me off as well. It also doesn't help the there are a ton of pictures on the net of the nc10 that show it with and with out a glossy screen (even on samsungs own website!).
