    Replacing screen for Dell XPS

    Btw Dell's site shows pretty much of a difference between the 2: (HD vs FHD) Brightness: 220 vs 270. Angle: Standard vs Wide. Color Gamut: 60% vs 95% Which is numbers for me and I have no idea what the real meanings are :D

    It's the 1555 dell studio. He bought that 2 years ago for about the same amount as i bought mine, around 1000$, and it was the one with the enhanced graphics card, probably the 5470 not sure about that. You mean he could get the IPS screen there and that's what confusing me?

    Need help choosing a brand new laptop

    Thanks WR2, How about the Inpiron n5110 with i7, 6GB memory, and a GT525, I don't understand why it is cheaper than the XPS if it somehow provides better performance?
