F3SV-A1 Screen

I have been hearing some pretty bad things about 1440x900 screens in my research. Anyone know how this one looks?

 

I hear that the WUXGA one is pretty nice, but I don't need that resolution, and I don't want to pay that much... so I want to go with the WXGA or WXGA+. Any opinions on those?

 

WUXGA isn't available on any 15" Asus. It's WSXGA+ which you can get. WXGA is pathetic. Go for as high a resolution as you are comfortable with.

 

I prefer lower resolutions... my question is about actual screen quality. Not resolution.

 

That being the case, you'll have to wait until someone has the particular model. Or maybe some of the resellers here on the forum can help you out.

 

Could you be more specific please. I am considering the F3SV-A1 over the B1, because I am worried that the resolution of the B1 is too high.

 

f3sv-a1 is a wxga+ 1440x900 actually turned out to bevery good. most 15.4" in the same size are good. i have not seen 15.4" in the same res from asus prior to the f3sv. My video will be up in the sticky section soon. good angles and good screen overall.

 

Good to hear Eddie!

 

Eddie, you mind running 3dmark06 on there at 1024x768 and 1280x1024? Curious to see the results.

theres is both 3dmarks for the f3sv-a1. as you can see the 8600gs is very comparable to the 7700 but is not dx10 compatible.

 

The screen looks rather dim in those images. Would you say that this is true?

 

Thank you very much. Now I really don't know what to do. 8600GS is a tad too weak for it to be even called an upgrade from 7700, but I've also waited SO long for directx 10 that I can't bring myself to just walk in and pick up an A8Js... and apparently the F3 series has fairly bad build quality (cheap plastic ...) Aye..

 

those are pictures taken with a camera. there is nothing you can draw from there in regards to screen quality

 

Well I mean in terms of brightness, graininess, etc.

 

you can NOT get any thing from those pics other then benchmarks. The videos that i make in the asus sticky section do show some quality of the lcds, like view angles, brightness (hard to predict becuase the ambient light varies), resolution, size, but never the actual quality. some people are very picky eaters when it comes to the lcd. only in person review can tell quality

 

so where can you actually preview these things, i have never seen a F3sV series in real life

 

I don't think you can. You can preview a G1 at best buy though.

 

Any update when the videos will be available?

 

I hope the screen rocks, since I am getting my F3sv-A1 on Tuesday!

 

Please let us know your thoughts about the screen, weight, size, durability, etc when you get it!

 

Please review it! I will buy the same in about 2 weeks!

 

Oh no worries guys, a review from me is forthcoming.

 

As of this morning, Newegg no longer carries the A1

 

...what are you trying to imply? There are many other resellers who sell the F3SV-A1.

 

uploading now the f3sv, g2s, s96s, a8sc and g1s videos. you will find them in the sticky. it can take up to 24 hours before i post them or even more. about 2gb of data there. the compressed files are about 400mb for all of them

 

i am also looking into these notebooks and would really like to know some thoughts on them. cant wait for the review!
