Overall, I'm sold on the idea of the LED backlights... Longer battery life, longer laptop life; but I work a lot in Photoshop and color accuracy is a big deal for me. >From what it sounds, the blue tinting may be a problem for those trying to keep accurate color representation in their work. Can this problem be overcome with monitor calibration and profiling or is it too significant?
