When we moved to even 45 degrees off center, the dark parts of the image completely inverted, making the movie unviewable.

When we played a 1080p MP4 trailer for 'Sky Fall,' details like the stubble on Daniel Craig's beard or the wrinkles in another man's forehead were particularly sharp, but colors - especially blacks - appeared washed out. Unfortunately, the glossy panel, made out of scratch-resistant Gorilla glass, didn't provide the best color accuracy.

Productivity-oriented users will really appreciate the additional screen real estate that the XPS 14 offers over the flood of notebooks with 1366 x 768 displays, because those extra pixels let you see more text in your documents, e-mails and Web pages without scrolling. The ASUS ZenBook Prime UX31a had a similar 423 lux. At 435 lux on our light meter, the screen was one of the brightest we've tested on a notebook, clearly outshining the thin-and-light notebook average of 186 lux, the 13-inch MacBook Air (268 lux) and the HP Envy 14 Spectre (249 lux). We consider temperatures below 95 comfortable, those between 95 and 100 as potentially uncomfortable and those above 100 disturbingly hot.Д¬lick to EnlargeThe Dell XPS 14's 14-inch WLED backlit, 1600 x 900 screen offers images that are really sharp and bright when viewed head-on but appear washed out when viewed from any other angle.

After streaming a full screen video for 15 minutes, we measured the keyboard at a reasonable 90 degrees and the touchpad at an icy 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The Dell XPS 14 stayed relatively cool throughout our testing. While we often have to attempt a multifinger gesture a few times to have it register once, the XPS 14's touchpad almost always picked up pinch zooms, rotates, three-finger swipes (to go back and forward between pictures), four fingers up to switch tasks, four fingers down to minimize all apps and even three finger hold to launch the browser. We were impressed with the pad's strong gesture support. Though its smooth black surface was a little slippery for our taste, the 3.9 x 2.8-inch buttonless Synaptics touchpad provided accurate navigation around the desktop without any of the jumpiness we've experienced on many clickpads. The subtle back light operates at two brightness levels, a low level that we found just good enough to make out and a regular level that we'd recommend for most users. On the Ten Thumbs Typing test, where we average 80 to 85 words per minute and 1 percent error rate, we managed a solid 85 words per minute but with a 2 percent error rate because of the shallow keys. However, the keys didn't have as much vertical travel as we like, leading us to occasionally miss a letter we thought we had hit.
