I keep hearing that the display is sub-par and makes things look washed out. Has anyone been dissatisfied with the display on the Chromebook 14?

I love my HP Chromebook's 14" display. It is so good that I have ditched my Windows PC and use my Chromebook as my sole computer. I had a Samsung 11.6" Chromebook, which was great, but the 11.6" screen was too small for me. The HP 14" screen is much larger and better.Ask the complainers to name a single 14" screen that is even comparable to this HP 14" screen at this price. They can't, because there is none. Have I had better screens? Yes, in $2,500+ laptops. But this isn't a $2,500+ laptop, or even a $1,000 laptop. It is a $300 laptop, with a very good screen.I'll tell you, a problem with all this technology is that it has turned many men into girly boys who think they have to whine about something all the time.

I think the display is beautiful. The one limitation is the vertical size is 768 pixels, and I'd like it to be more. Anyone who says it is washed out either hasn't seen it or has a broken display. (My spouse does says there is glare under certain conditions.) We compare this to the Apple products we own (iMac, iPad, iPod and MacPro) and we're very happy. It's not trying to be the highest resolution in the house. After all, it's a hardware interface to Google-Plus (like the Kindle is a hardware interface to Amazon).

It's not the greatest but clearly not the worst. It's very passable but in no way a feature to get excited about on this chromebook.

I'm a pretty dedicated gamer myself and I've had the monitor for a few weeks now. I could hardly notice anything personally. However if you really don't like the colors you could download the proper monitor color profile online and it will supposedly make it look great. Although I never bothered because it was fine to me. And I have no idea what the angle problem is. If you mean is the screen a little tilted or whatever I'm going to say that mine is perfectly fine. Hope this helps you make your choice.

Did you end up buying the purple case? I recently purchased the coral chromebook and I am curious as to how the purple looks against the coral color.

more info would really help us help you . you have to ask yourself 2 very important questions . does the chromebook have a displayport out ? and does the tv have a displayport in ? if the answer is no to any of the questions then this cable will not work for you . first determine what kinda output the chromebook has , most i've seen have an HDMI out and or VGA out . then look @ what inputs your TV has , all HDTV's will have an HDMI put and most will have a VGA input . if the chromebook and tv have HDMI , that would be the best way to connect your chromebook to your HDTV.

I am inclined to think something is wrong. Mine has a nice picture. I did no adjustments on my monitor. I kept the factory setting because the picture was great.

In my opinion, the quality of screen display is not that good. You can see better to the display if you are in front of it, moving a little bit from that angle, you cannot see clearly.

Take your busted LCD out and check the back for the part numbers. I believe this chromebook came with 2 diff types of LCD screen.

The screen is a matte finish, not nearly as glossy as a plasma or a high contrast LCD. Resolution is decent, but is definitely a matte finish, no gloss.

I have iPad Mini (which for some reason isn't listed) and I see NO reduction in display quality. Hope this helps!

It has a matte display. There's some reflection, but not much. I've had the laptop for a few weeks and really like it. The only thing about it I don't like is the trackpad - it's just not very responsive. But I use a full keyboard and mouse 90% of the time anyway.

I have read and reread the descrition and can't seem to find if the display is plasma or LCD. Does anyone know?Thanks, Clara

Did you see the article showing the component cost on a chromebook is over $320? did you really expect them to sell something like this at a loss? when they can't put horrific bloatware and get kickbacks from microsoft?

I'm not really sure what you mean by either. There are various adjustments you may make with the display settings. You may make the screen brighter or dim depending on how you like to view web pages. Hope this helps with your choice of purchasing a laptop.

my screen seems to have a glossy finish to it in the off position. Sometimes I might not get the clearest picture due to the equipment by my service provider. I have noticed the picture would get choppy from time to time due to the signal.

I have, it looks great, very high resolution, looks awesome playing HD quicktime movie trailers on it. Connect my Powerbook through mini-DVI to DVI converter, then use a DVI to HDMI cord its pretty huge though.. for a monitor for regular use, in my opinion, but maybe i'm just used to my 13" powerbook screen.

No, but I've never had problems reading the display. I use this for brewing, grilling and baking, and even in partial light, it's still clear and readable.

Sorry, can't answer that question...but wanted to share my experience about the computer. The laptop that I ordered had some issues with the screen. It would go off whenever it felt like it, and something strange was going on with the color...it was like a moving watermark where the colors would change in certain areas, and it would move/spread. So I returned it..for me, its not worth it.
