I am reading your posts with interest, because I was just recently bemoaning the fact that the majority of the notebook research gurus were primarily interested in configuring the dream notebook for gaming, rather than for photography and graphics design, which is what I'm interested in. Of course, I'm not as much help because I don't live anywhere that I can see any of the screens you have mentioned in person. I can tell you that by far, the Fujitsu websites are the most cooperative about publishing their contrast ratios and viewing angles. I haven't been able to come up with similar numbers for the other screens, except for guesses and unofficial hearsay. The Fujitsu MVA and Clear View screens both have viewing angles of 160 degrees in all directions. The MVA offers contrast ration of 400:1 and Clear View is 600:1. It offers 16 million colors. There have been several threads about comparison of monitors (read Screens, screens, and more screens) and I'm sure LeeT and jmkay03, proud and happy owners of the Fujitsu N5010 Clear View screen will be chipping in any moment to put in their two cents worth, as they have both done their screen research. It seems from reading the posts that people are very impressed with the appearance of the Toshiba CASV, Sony XBrite, and Fujitsu MVA screens, but the few lucky ones who have seen them all seem to favor the MVA ones. However, I think as gamers, they are looking as much at response time, rather than color gamut and fidelity. How are you planning to calibrate your monitor? Also, do you really need more than 64 mb of video memory for still image editing?
