    Wow that is seriously disappointing with regards to the screen issues still being presrnt. The worst part (and maybe its just me) is that I clicked on the advertisement video in the middle of the review page, and the thires looked dark to me. I mean, if they cannot make the laptop screen look better in a video ad, then that is pretty bad. Thanks for the link!

    The 1080p screen, at least, is supposed to be very dark. The review that Ingvarr linked to says that the end user would even find himself struggling a little with it indoors. I am not sure what the numbers mean but they graded the luminescence of the screen as being 160 cd/m2, which I assume is low.

    Does this model have a dual band wireless card (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)?

    So, the new Qosmios have a full 1080p screen now?

    Not all of them, only the "high end" models. There is a new thread with all four models listed. It looks like the lower tiered two models are 1620 X 945 and the two higher priced models have full 1080p.
