Default Comparison of 404 and 405 screens
Has anyone had a chance to compare screen quality on the new 405 compared to the 404? Is it better or the same? I'm considering replacing my 404 with a 405 if the image quality is better. Thanks

by guess would be it's the same
on paper its the same resolution, size, and color quality, so no reason to switch manufacturers either
even if it was better, you do realize you only get 2GBs right?
try getting a 600 level model if you want the improvements

The 404 screen is matte and the 405 is glossy other than that there are no visible differences, I prefer viewing my 404 screen to the 405 screens.
