Review By Notebookreview

The LCD screen is a 14.1” widescreen, with a native resolution of 1200×800 (WXGA). It is equipped with Acer’s CrsytalBrite technology (glossy). Not having much to compare to, I can say that images look good and the glossiness does make movies more vibrant. When watching movies, I am able to detect a bit of response lag when compared to my desktop setup. The horizontal viewing range is good, but I have found myself constantly adjusting the display to find the right vertical viewing angle. Applying moderate pressure to the LCD’s back produces the typical ripple pattern.
