Dear all,
I have some issues regarding a laptop build that I might be buying soon:

1a) For my display, is there a noticable difference between the LED and the IPS both in 1080p HD?
1b) Would it be worth buying an IPS screen for about £50 more?
1c) What is the difference between matt and gloss displays?

2a) For browsing the internet, streaming YouTube videos and light gaming are these specs going to perform these tasks with no issues and
2b) What improvements could I make to this laptop for roughly the same price?

Solution
Matte is dull type sceen that has limited glare compared to a Glossy screen (shiny screen).

IPS is supposed to increase viewing angles. Which is a good thing.

Glossy Screens:
1. Vivid colors and better contrast.
2. Colors more intense and saturated while blacks appear deeper.
3. Sunlight causes reflection

Matte
1. Anti-glare
2. easier to see in bright rooms

Analysis: Glossy better colors but that advantage goes away with lots of refecting light
Matte: the advantage is no glare of reflections. Colors aren't as vivid.

Actually the Intel 7620 is 802.11 AC (up to 3X faster) the new faster standard (Which I recommend). So the wireless card may have the listed the wrong model number if it's truly 802.11 N (the old standard).

If I got a matte screen but with an IPS panel would that balance out the colour problem?
