A premium-range screen cannot be expected in a netbook from this price range. So, a screen with a diagonal of 11.6-inches as well as only the minimum resolution of 1366x768 pixels is available. At least it is a matte screen and not a glare-type. That prevents annoying reflections to an extent. The Aspire netbook is even conditionally outdoor suitable with an average brightness of approximately 250 cd/m², providing it is a cloudy and not sunny day. The contrast ratio of 339:1 is not an exceptional rate, but it is also acceptable for a laptop from the low-cost price range.
