    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to build my own vaio(VGN-FW-35X) on the uk sonystyle page, but it's not clear if the 1920x1020 is using a double lamp technology or not.

    Tried sony customer services but that had no clue :) they will call me back some time this week.

    All it says on the page is:
    16.4" LCD, 1920x1080 + webcam [+ £ 60.0] [New Price: + £ 0.0 , you save £ 60.0 ]

    is it double lamp or not?

    thanks

    I believe it has. Im basing my answer on the fact that i can not tell any difference in brightness or picture quality between that screen and the slightly bigger one in the AW series with double lamp

    I checked 2 laptops side by side and the difference was obvious.

    With double lamp you get more saturated, bright colors and very deep dark colors, black if finally black and not grey.
