I bought a used Latitude E4300 off of Ebay. Flippin love this laptop. 13", Core 2 Duo, SSD on its way, it'll be a substantial upgrade vs the Intel Atom thing I've been using for a while now. About the screen, I noticed the viewing angles on it weren't exactly impressive. I read some posts on a notebook review forum regarding this exact model. One user in particular said (I have no idea what his line of work is) that he's seen newer E4300's that have better screens, and that he runs into an E4300 about once a month. I have to assume he's heavily entrenched in an IT job somewhere to come across an E4300 that frequently. At any rate, his post (dated 2010) suggested that perhaps the 2009 panels were of lesser quality.
Are there different quality levels when it comes to LCD panels? Like is it possible to get an LCD that's better than the next guy selling one for my exact laptop? Is that where the 130 dollar LCD's come in when I'm also seeing LCD's from 70 bucks for the same laptop? Considering the user said the newer E4300's seemed to have better viewing angles I can't help but to think maybe there's something there that holds water.
If that's the case, is there anything specific to look for to identify differences?
