First, let me just say that this laptop is amazing! At first, I wasn't too sure if the display was going to be good at all, especially in comparison to the Crystal View display from Fujitsu, but TrueLife(tm) holds its own just fine! High definition videos look amazing on the display. The following pictures just don't do the screen enough justice, but hopefully they would give you an idea of what you're getting if you're still not sure about this laptop.
"The Magic of Flight" IMAX 1080p video from microsoft.com.
Yet another 1080p video from microsoft.com.
Another 1080p video from microsoft.com.
Two IE windows opened side-by-side -- lots of desktop space!
A zoomed out version of the above.
The XPS2 pictured running Guild Wars next to my Dell 2005FPW on the left and my Samsung 192T on the right. If you saw this in person, the image on that XPS2 screen is really really beautiful.
The Guild Wars character selection screen. Again, this image does not do the screen enough justice!
Partially closed XPS2.
There's something about the red colored LED!
Another view of a partially closed XPS2.
Guild Wars is a great looking game!
Yet another 1080p video.
Good colors from this shot.
The reflection really isn't bad. It looks pretty slick actually!
You can actually change the LED colors in the BIOS config screen. Unfortunately, you can't really preview the changes as you make them!
The TrueLife(tm) display is really good at emphasizing colorful images. Everything just seems to stand out very well. It's not quite as good as what Fujitsu uses on their laptops, but it's still without a doubt a very good display!
I also calibrated my display using the ColorVision Spyder2 so the colors are actually deeper than what was in the factory configuration.
