as i checked, mine is using LG Philips that all mac forumers claimed the color is washed out compared to Samsung's.

You know what? I just found this

http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/30/how-to-chec...it-look-better/

and after this setting my screen stay on different with the Samsung's. Pretty cool setting you can opt for. And now my screen is more vivid then ever =)

FYI, Samsung display is more gorgeous than LG-P but from the website there is some tutorial to make a custom color profile to sharpens the display

I was lucky to get "Double Sammy"

your SSD brand ? Toshiba or Samsung ?

2011 or 2012 model ?

Mine is 64GB using Toshiba but this is 2012 version. Everything is fine now except shutting down speed is about 10 sec to go. I can cope with it because I normally just close the lid and it just sleep like that. Unless I have to boot into Windows 7 occasionally due to work

no wonder ,2012 SSD is way faster than 2011 SSD..is about 200 times, faster on Reading Speed.

but too bad i wish i could get same writing speed as read

Ic..still consider very good becos reading able to clock 400Mb/s , i was assume your start up time will be faster than mine ?

My unit start up time take about 12 sec to boot , Shutdown only 3sec .

MBA 11"; 2011 model. I have both Samsung screen and SSD! YAY!

2012 MBA 13" 2.0GHz Core i7 8GB RAM 256GB SSD.

Screen LG, SSD Samsung. Screen, in comparison to my Retina MBP and the Samsung MBA 2012 display unit tested at MacStudio LYP:

Retina MBP > LG > Samsung.

Both LG and Samsung color profiles are off, skewed in either the cold or warm temperature. Crispness is the same. Still need calibration and customs ICC profiles to tame them down. Retina eat them both for breakfast.

SSD speed tested at 390MB/s write, 450MB/s read using BlackMagic DiskSpeedTest.
