You're right. ops: Let's get back on topic.

From what I know, all HPCs today do not have a reflective or transflective screen, which is going to be making sunlight difficult on almost all of them.

I had the MobilePro 820 I believe...it might have been the 880...

It had 16-bit color or at least that's what it told me.

I do know, however, that whatever screen type it was, it had a lot of off-pixels, or dead ones I guess. Whenever I would look at a pure black screen on it (like the one PocketTV makes when it is opened), it would be almost colorful and grayish. My Nino does the same thing. Although, the off/dead pixels were not as bright as a dead pixel might get on a laptop screen, so it did not really make much difference to regular use.
