2378FVU screen quality question
2378FVU screen quality question
I am thinking of getting on of these with the 14.1" 1400X1050 screen. I know that it is not a Flexview, but wonder what the overall screen quality is like???
(I am quite aware of the advantages of a Thinkpad).
TABOOK lists it as a 150 nit brightness, and I saw other spec lists saying that it is 1 200:1 contrast ratio. This didn't seem very high, compared to an HP nc6000 I was also considering. If anyone can elaborate on the screen quality, or if you have seen both systems I am considering, please reply.
Thanks,

I have a 2378-FVU.
It's very bright, although with direct sunlight it can get a bit hard to see. I'd estimate the viewing angle to be about 170 degrees. Clear, sharp, great quality.
