    @phenom
    In my gx720 barebone i have the samsung SAMSUNG LTN170CT02-001 (1 CCFL) type you mentioned. It's a non glare lcd 1920*1200. The brightness of this sreeen is a bit low and as some users complain it can have much of bleeding. Mine has also bleeding a bit to much at the whole bottom of the screen above the msi logo. If you have a glare type now and it has good contrast i should change nothing. Greetings out of the netherlands. Henk.

    There is LG screen which is much better than Samsung ones. The problem is that is stupid Glossy, which I hate.
    Here you can read more.
    And here is one on eBay.
    Good luck.

    Thanks Genna,
    Im just debating on gloss or matte
    (maybe i`ll get 1 of each) lol
    I guess gloss isnt too bad, thats what i have now.
    but i have matte for my desktop, and thats nice.
    choices
    ;)
