    This question is way too vague in general. There are a lot of different variants of screens in the 15.6" and 17.3". You need to let people know what version of the screen you have to get a better answer. For example, Matte vs Glossy will definitely look different if calibrated using the same settings. As will the different Gamut screens.

    There are different displays available. I would venture to say that the Glossy 90% gamut display looks better than what you see on a Mac Book Pro. I believe they use a 82% gamut display.

    Depends which 15.6 FHD it is, there are quite a few.

    The AUO V4 is better, the standard ones will be worse most likely.

    When you build your system through a company like Gentech, they will give you a couple options for displays. Like someone else said, the AUO V4 display will be better than what you get from a Macbook.
