    Hey guys, I know the screen is touchscreen but is it Glossy or Matte? Is it IPS or TN? Any idea on the color gamut or srgb/rgb coverage of it?

    The one I looked at on Saturday at BestBuy was glossy.

    Nice thanks you two. Reason I asked was that I hate matte screens and I just got a G75 from them and the damn thing is so grainy eventhough it has nice colors. I'm thinkin about exchanging it for the NP780Z5E with the 8770m.

    Is it true that the 8770m is as powerful as a gt 650m? If it is then that is just fine since I do not need the power of a 670mx and it would be nice to have something more portable and smaller since this G75 is a behemoth and the grainy screen is just a major turn off.

    You can compare the GPU performance using notebookcheck's CPU benchmark list.
