    Whats the difference between WXGA EEBR and HC screens? on sony's website, if I choose WXGA HC, then it comes with nvidia 8400GT only and no option for Intel X3100. So, what does EEBR stand for and there a substantial difference between the 2 screen types. I would llike to get intel x3100 because it might give better battery life over nvidia. Is it possible to configure it somehow?

    So, with 2 lamps, how is the battery life compared to standard screen. Also, ohw good is the standard screen, it should be reasonably good.

    You can check out an FZ with a standard screen at Bestbuy or Circuit. The battery life out of my HC (Hi-Color) screen FZ is about 3 hours when turned down to 2 or 3 notches of brightness. Even then it is still very easy to see.
