I'm currently moving from a (TFT) 701c to a DSTN 560, courtesy of IBM; my big worry was the screen type change. Side by side, the latter is clearly less bright than the former, and has a narrower angle in which everything is visible. Moreover, the extra .8 inch of screen isn't much of an improvement. However, it is substantially better than I'd anticipated: very good color saturation and decent contrast. The unavoidable ghosting is still there, and of course no more video games, but overall acceptable. BTW, I still think the 701 is a much better thought-out machine: form factor is better, keyboard is bigger with deeper travel, and I already miss the reverse-video function key. - David
