    Dear readers,

    I am from UK looking in getting the XPS 13 2015 with QHD and I am worried about the screen as I've read on notebookcheck that the QHD display on the i5 (SHP1421) is better than the one on the i7 (Sharp LQ133Z1).

    Here is quote from http://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-XPS-13-Ultrabook-Review.136793.0.html

    "Interestingly enough, the display of the review candidate is substantially less bright at 231,1 cd/m²; the version of the Ultrabook with Core i5 CPU reached 371.9 cd/m². The contrast ratio of 9281:1 is decent, but still trails the Core i5 version significantly (2063:1)."
    That review was done towards the end of February 2015. Is this screen problem still the case now in the beginning of May 2015?

    Thanks
