    I have heard some crying earlier from within the Dell message board, so let me clarify this now... I do not have a camera rite now, nor any pictures to compare or to post to this thread.... but here goes:

    The Studio XPS is processor is Intel® Core™ i7-820QM
    with Edge-to-edge Glossy 16.0 inch Full HD RGB-LED LCD display (1080p)!

    We are comparing the screen of the Dell 1645 to a Macbook Pro and an iMac... the results are sad. 1645 displays notably better than both of these Macs, but red and green are displayed slightly off.

    Here are the images we are comparing on each screen that are loaded in seperate tabs:

    some recent pictures from my buddy michaels wedding:

    and

    I am VERY HAPPY to report that blacks display far better on the 1645 than a 2009 Macbook Pro or the iMac. When viewing photo intensive websites, the 1645 is really gripping our attention (all things being equal such as brightness set to max, etc.)

    I know the Apple fanboys will not like this, and neither will their washer and dryers, but the Macbook display is officially infirm.

    I guess you will have to wait out the product cycle of the current gen to get anything respectable in comparison to us.

    Sorry for the bad news.

    Seriously, this is nothing but flamebait. Closed.

    Don't do it again - we have forum rules that prohibit trolling.
