The screen is unbearable and it will have to go back.  It's hurting my eyes.  I am constantly adjusting the angle and it is always either washed out or very dark in some part of the screen and furthermore has a faint fuzziness. This is not side viewing, no, this is straight on and so bad it surprises me this this model got any good reviews.  One person gave it 3 stars for the not so good screen.  If their screen was as bad as this one it would not have been a 3.  I had a 14" Acer that was great and years older than this one; it's updates expired. Perhaps this particular machine is defective, but I suggest you not take a chance with this model.  The bigger screen, the number pad, the reasonable AUE, and the good price are not worth hurting your eyes!!
