    Does anybody know if the FW190EBH has the XBRITE-HiColor screen or the XBRITE-ECO screen??

    I'm fairly certain it's the ECO

    But on http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665406956 it says "extra-wide 16.4" XBRITE-HiColor™ LCD display making it ideal for watching widescreen movies, playing games, or viewing two web sites side-by-side."

    so I'm really confused...

    if it does have the HiColor screen, I am definitely getting it, but if it doesn't, I will just do a CTO... But I would really prefer a pre-built model over a CTO

    If you look at the specifications tab on that page, it says ECO, which contradicts the overview page.

    I'd call and ask before buying

    I noticed that a while back, but figured it would've been fixed by now.

    I'd guess that it's got the Eco screen, but you might wanna check with Sony.

    I just realize that in the US, if you have ATI 3470 as video card, you can only have ECO-screen...
