> Great, just when I spent all my PC budget on a Dell Inspiron 9300 (yes, the > 17" monster laptop - provides a real contrast to my 50CT!) ... ah well ... Most of the Dell notebooks made today have a 150-250 cd/meter sq. brightness level. The Sony FS-series which I have here has a 400 cd/m2 screen, and is noticably brighter than most notebooks sitting next to it. Something to keep in mind if you're using it outdoors. It's not to say the Dell screens can't be read outdoors - they can, the latest Inspiron 6000 I had to play with with the 16xx by whatever resolution panel was daylight readable, but not that easy to read if direct sunlight hit it at certain angles. Still kind of dark, but brighter than the Librettos with contrast enhancement film applied (like my L110). The Sony FS is a step above that, although still dim, it's definitely easy enough to read w/o much strain in bright, direct sunlight, and my pick above them all. So bright, I even have to turn it down a notch indoors! Don't know what the cd/m2 of the Libretto U100 will be, but it'll probably be in the 150 cd/m2 range given the 32 white led backlighting of the panel (from what I gather from the technical presentation website linked earlier). Still, brighter than any prior Libretto screen, I'm sure, and with the built-in contrast enhancement film, it's bound to be a nice screen to look at. > Hard to tell from the picture but does anyone else think the new Libretto > looks more like a 100/110CT than the newer L-series? I'd agree here. But with the big battery pack sticking out the rear, it's also more similar to the JVC Interlink XP series as well. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
