It's only my personal opinion, but I see FullHD as much better display than HD+. For office mode too. I often view two windows one next to another on a single display, so in 1920px width I can view two documents/websites without the need to do horizontal scrolling. It's only 300px difference, but believe me - it's a big difference.

Thanks for summing up and referencing my comments, Drew. 🙂

The one thing that I would add, and the last post illustrates the point, is that this is not about a preference for one resolution over another. That's a completely different matter, and everyone has their own preferences.

So it's just image quality parameters I'm talking about. I happen to like 1600x900 on a 17" display, too, but I have both of the panels used in the G74, and the Full HD panel is, in every qualitative regard.....color accuracy & balance, contrast, black levels, viewing angles, etc.....a better-performing LED display.

The only time I'd recommend the HD+ display is for a user who expects to use an external monitor most of the time. Then you could save some money and put it toward other upgrades.

I never compared those two, but since I have the 720p version (BBK8 model), I can say that it sucks completely. The screen is like full of smoke that never goes away. Otherwise it's a nice device.
