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,
