New MBP screen vs. new MB screen

[cshen]

Hi guys,

i'm currently still using my 4 years old 1.33 12" powerbook. Since apple just refreshed its notebook line. I'm considering getting a new book.

Here comes the question. Since the macbook is now using the LED backlight. How does the screen compare to macbook pro's, ie, brightness, view angle, color? The resolution of macbook pro is higher. but that's because of the bigger screen, right?

One thing i dont like my 12" powerbook is the screen. i had a 15" tibook and i absolutely loved the screen.

Anyone knows the answer?

From a review I've read, though both the new MB and new MBP use LED backlit screens, the one on the MBP is still superior. Not just in terms of resolution, but the color, contrast, and viewing angle are all much better on the MBP. It's pretty clear in the photos in the link.

Thansk. That really helps.

If you're picky about displays (I am) then the MBP is a must. The MB's have always had shoddy (IMHO) displays. I couldn't stare at them all day, hence I never bought one. Remember that LED backlighting doesn't do anything for the quality of the panel.
