Does anyone know how bright the screen on the PBG4 DVI is? I was sitting next to a Dell (with an ultrasharp display) and my screen looked awfully dim in comparison. When I first got the computer the screen seemed bright, but now it doesn't...

Might be a silly question, but have you turned down the brightness perhaps? The DVIs are bright and sharp as heck!!!

I am not sure which Ti you have, but the latest DVI PBs are pretty bright...but I don't think it is impossible that some laptops are brighter than the Ti...

My question is: are you happy with what you have?

I do have the latest PB (800), and I was happy with what I had, but... every time I have my computer next to my friend's Dell (which is often) I feel kinda sad... In all fairness I should point out that his screen (1600x1200) displays text at amazingkly tiny sizes, so he has to run it at 1280 x 1024 just to be able to read it...

So does anyone know the brigtness of the screen (like 100cd, 200cd, 300cd...)?
