    Does anyone know exactly what "ultrasharp" really means on a monitor? As an example, the m6400 offers only "ultrasharp" monitor choices across the resolutions and backlight options. So does it refer to how glossy the surface is? Or to something having to do with the LCD itself?

    What would be the difference between these listed displays from the Outlet:

    17 inch UltraSharp WXGA+ (1440x900) LCD Display

    and

    17 inch Wide Screen WXGA+ Laptop Screen

    Anything? Or is this just differing data entry?

    Lastly, are the m6400 monitors glossy or matte?

    Thanks...

    According to some of the fine print on Dell's site:

    Doesn't say anything about viewing angles, but they should all be matte, though.

    None are strongly glossy.

    But the E2E is more reflective and considered glossy.

    Non E2E is definitely matt but bright enough that most users would not use full brightness indoors.

    Maybe your right,I can't find the "help me choose" info on the configuration page's for notebooks anymore......it used to be asked all the time years ago,if you look at the monitor's the ultrasharp models have better viewing angles,but maybe its something else now.

    I had a glossy vostro 1500 with an ultrasharp monitor and also 2 XPS M1730's that were also glossy ultrasharp.

    Dell print's soo much mis-information these day's,maybe it means it has a built in coffee maker :)
