i have a 14 inch ibook g4 and my only real complaint about it is the screen seems rather dull and just generally crappy looking. i decided to get this computer when i played with my sister's 4 or 5 year old g3 powerbook. i remember being quite pleased with the screen on that machine so i figured i couldn't go wrong with a new ibook. unfortunately when it arrived i immediately noticed the screen did not look as pleasing as i remembered it. i assumed i had just remembered the powerbook as better than it actually was and told myself laptop screens will never look as good as desktop screens so i kept the computer. however, now that my sister is home from college i compared the screens side by side and noticed i hadn't remembered wrong. the old g3 powerbook has a much brighter and sharper looking screen then my new ibook. i tried adjusting the screen settings but to no avail. the texture on my screen looks almost "grainy" and even with the brightness turned all the way up it still looks dull. why didn't apple update the screens at all over the past 5 years? i find this extremely dissapointing considering i use this computer as a desktop replacement and will be stuck looking at this dull screen for the next several years.
