Notebook LCD or Ultra Brite Notebook LCD?

Mar 12, 2005 12:41PM PST

I'm a graphic designer, who when designing, needs to view color on a monitor in its true perceptive; which is why I held off on designing on notebook LCD's for the longest...until recently. I'm looking into buying those new generation notebooks with with the TruBrite or Ultrabrite LCDs ( they closely resemble the clarity of a tradtional PC monitor). The trouble is a tech at Fry's told me that the Ultrabrite burn out fast and within a year I'd be looking at replacing the UltraBrite LCD, whereas, with the tradtional LCD, I'd recieve slight color loss over time, however would gain longer life. Is this true? Because I was really hoping to purchase one. Sad

Please help me out with the facts.
