I just had a look at a 17" Macbook Pro next to a 15" 1440x900 and (resolution aside) at full brightness the 17" looked like it was considerably brighter than the 15". Also colour reproduction was dramatically better.

1) Is the 17" actually brighter or is this an optical illusion due to the panel size?

2) Does the 17" panel have better colour reproduction than the 15" or is this simply poor calibration?
