M6500 RGBLED vs M6600 IPS RGBLED screen

Hello.

My M6500 has had some problems recently that Dell have struggled to fix. They've now given up and are sending me a brand new M6600 instead. Every bit of the spec is better than the M6500 except the screen resolution. I'm really gutted its only 1080 not 1200. I know that the quality of the ips screen is supposed to be amazing but to be honest I thought the RGBLED on the M6500 was amazing!

Has anyone gone from the high resolution M6500 RGBLED screen to the lower resolution M6600 ips screen? If so, how did you find it?

Dell, what a monumentally stupid stupid decision to abandon the 1920x1200 screen!

 

First off, you anger is misdirected. This is not Dell changing screen resolution. This is the panel manufacturers. They all went to 17.3" 1920x1080 displays. This is just how it is. Not Dell. Its all about profits for the companies that make the panels.

I have seen and worked with the LG and Samsung panels on the M6500. I have also seen and worked with the M6600. The M6600 is a big step up over the M6500. Yes, you lose 120 lines. But you get better color and better viewing angles.

 

I would much rather have the 1200 M6500 display in my M6600. The colour on that panel is already excellent. I sit in front of my laptop not at the side so viewing angle isn't important.

Dell should have retained the high res panel as an option.

120 lines less is a significant backwards step.

 

Unfortunately until 4k panels come out and become the norm, 1080p is all you are going to get on 17.3" laptops. Heck the base M6600 comes only with a 1600x900 WLED panel. 120 pixels is about 6 lines in Excel, TBH it's not a huge difference compared to lets say QXGA's 1536 vertical pixels.

 

this guy works for the LCD comp ARE YOU CRAZY NOBODY NOOO BOOODDDYYY in their right mine would think that a 1080p screen is better nobody........ if you have good colors you have good colors go somewhere else and stick up for your company i WANT 1200p back PERIOD nobody wants poop poop 1080s besides even with 1200p if you cut out the black lines its all ready for 1440p because 1200p with out black lines is actually 1440 just like 1080p with out black lines is actually almost 720p(800p) you see even for non workstation movie future prof its better more is better almost always except weight with computers so go stick it you me off for sticking up for the LCD comps back us or leave
