I've got my hands on two Dell laptops with LED screens and, thus far, I'm not impressed. The Latitude E6400 and Inspiron 910 both look horribly washed out. On the CCFL side, the two year old D820 (UXGA, CCFL Backlight) I've got is crystal clear. I like the lower power consumption, the thinner screens, and the instant-on from not having to wait for the backlight to warm up, but the contrast and viewing angle sucks on all of the Dell LED screens I've seen.
I've ordered a Latitude E4200 and am expecting it in three weeks. Hopefully it will look a lot better than the other two. If it doesn't, it's going right back and I'll switch to a different vendor for notebooks.
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"
