What's the difference in laptop monitor types?
I bought a HP Pavilion dv6 a couple of years ago and am marginally satisfied. I ordered it with upgraded RAM, CPU, and blu-ray burner. What I didn't pay attention to is the monitor. Now that I am into photo editing there is frustration with the picture looking different based on the position of the monitor - especially brightness and contrast. A more savvy friend said that I should have ordered the laptop with a better monitor.
I'm now thinking of getting an external monitor. Hopefully one that is portable rather than one designed to be used with a desktop machine. I only use the laptop on vacation (like now) and would like something where the stand folds into the body or similar.
My main need is to know what type of monitor to look for: LED, LCD, tft or whatever.
Thanks for any advice.
