All,

 

I am looking at an HP laptop purchase and have a display question.

 

I am narrowed down between two models with the following displays:

14" diagonal FHD IPS anti-glare micro-edge WLED-backlit (1920 x 1080)

14" diagonal FHD IPS BrightView micro-edge WLED-backlit (3840 x 2160)

 

Can anyone help me understand the difference, other than the higher resolution on the one?  I use my laptop for everything that others might use a tablet - business apps, surfing, videos, in the office, in the den, outdoors, on the run, etc.  Would one of the two be a better choice?  Is one considered 'superior'?  Any major pros-cons to either?

 

Thanks!

@mooch91 Welcome to HP Community!

From what I can see the major difference is that one supports 4K and the other is full HD:

14" diagonal FHD IPS anti-glare micro-edge WLED-backlit (1920 x 1080) - full HD

14" diagonal FHD IPS BrightView micro-edge WLED-backlit (3840 x 2160) - 4K

 

Other than that, the usual/self explanatory definations such as Anti-glare:

An anti-glare screen is a clear panel or filter placed over a screen that helps prevent sun and light glare on a screen. Glare screens or filters are often not required unless you work on your computer in proximity to a window that is exposed to sunlight.

The simple mean it prevent unwanted glares.

 

And Brightview:

Is a glossy display with a glossy surface. In certain light environments glossy displays provide better color intensity and contrast ratios than matte displays (Anti-glare).

The primary disadvantage of these displays is their tendency to reflect any external light, often resulting in an undesirable glare.

 

I hope that answers your query,
