Re: Screen

I was just about to post on this issue.

I'm thinking of returning my laptop because the the TruBrite (or whatever
trademark) screen that it has.
Although the Dells in general have an option for with or without this
"feature", the high-res wide screen (1680x1050) version is only available
with it. (My old compaq x1000 has the same resolution - unfortunately, the
new HP/cpq only has the TruBrite.)

I just don't see the point:
(a) The specular hilights seem in general worse than the "washed out"
problems without have it
(b) If you're even slighly off-axis either vertically or horizontally, the
screen gets dark immediately -- this means you need to constantly mess with
the screen angle of your using it on-the-go or even if you move a bit to
lean back and relax, etc.
(c) The color temperature is slifted way towards the blue. While whites on
the old latop seemed about 6500 kelvis, now whites look about 9500K or
above.
I find my eyes really tire quickly at this level.

Does anyone else have these issues??

Is there a decent laptop (15.4", centrino dual, 1680x1050 (or at least
1200xY), a/b/g/BT, 5200/7200rmp, good build, etc) that doesn't have
TruBrite??

thanks,
