What about the display of Y500? Will it be too reflective especially I have tube light facing backside of my desk?

Is the display of Y500 better than Dell Truelife?

what you're asking is personal preference. personally i like glossy screens so i cant tell! Its best if u go to a store and have a look at the model yourself! otherwise if you take someone's word for it and then don't like it later... you'll end up repenting it!

Really? It's not that bad though, surely? I mean I have a CFL just behind my head and it's reasonably bright. I see OK. Still, if that's a dealbreaker, then probably not - I dunno. I much prefer glossy screens as well.

By the way fellas, do you feel that our screen calibration is a bit off? It seems a bit yellow-ish (i.e. warm) to my eyes? I don't want to tinker with the values without any professional equipments, are there any good data I can use as reference point?

Guys I am getting the new y500 with gt 750 from my local store for 57k. The biggest concern I have is the 768p screen, should I go for it or should I go for the gt 650m version if I find one..?
Still if I find the gt 650m version would it be having the elan touch pad which had issues..?
Click to expand...

57K?

Thats an awesome price, man.

If you can manage to get the 650m model then great otherwise 57K for Y500 with 750m is simply a brilliant deal.

Its 1366 x768.

There was another model which was Full HD but that model has been discontinued. So, the initial reviews are about Full HD model.
