Probably true - I was looking at 15 to 17 inch size machines as I wanted high resolution (lots of pixels) and a large screen (old eyes doing software development in LabView, C, and Fortran - I know, Fortran really dates me). So I probably overlooked the smaller tablet machines. In the office I have a nice 30" IPS monitor connected via displayport/dual-link DVI. On the road/at home I just use the 17" MacBook Pro LED backlight display (probably 6-bit per color, adequate color, matte finish (some type of anti-reflective/glare coating), reasonably bright, and lots of pixels at 1920x1200). Accurate color was not required for my use of the machine. I do wish the internal display had better off-axis angle properties. The large IPS screen is WAY better in that aspect. One good aspect of LED backlights is they usually dim over a much larger range than CCFL backlights.
