    Well I ordered an E Series from BestBuy for $729 with blu-ray. (I had $150 credit there so $631 w/tax oop)

    I saw that you can buy an E Series with a ATI Graphics card and a FULL HD 1900x1080 screen for $1031 w/ax. Is this upgrade worth the extra $400 it is going to cost me? Is the screen that much better?

    hmm... I could just say Full HD got the best viewing image. Try head down to sony center to look at the difference between Full Hd and normal screen. A huge different. Pixel are smaller, image are more crisp and more viewing space for your desktop.

    Apparently the difference between the non-HD and HD screen on the EB are about more than just resolution, the HD screen is generally much higher quality in all respects. So I'd definitely say it's worth it.
