    Sony screens are generally brighter and some have an XBrite (extra brightness/contrast/gloss) finish while IBM screens are always just a matte finish. IBM screens are fine, bright enough, but I have to say that Sony screens are generally better.

    IBM screens generally pale in comparison to Sony (and Toshiba) offerings.
