Laptop screen recommendations - Fedora 22 & KDE

Hi all;

I'm currently running Fedora 22 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (3rd 
gen).  Fedora works well on it, my only complaint is that the screen has 
a built in anti glare filter and seems washed out, I'm not sure if this 
is the anti glare filter or if it's that Linux support for the Video 
card (Intel HD Graphics 5500) is not quite there yet.

I'm planning to upgrade to a new X1 Carbon with more RAM and a faster 
CPU, I run the KDE spin. I wonder if anyone has any experience 'scaling' 
the KDE display with Fedora 22 (KDE 5 I believe) and what might be the 
best screen to run? Might the higher res screen fix my washed out screen 
issues? How well would it work with KDE 5? Other comments?

My screen options are as follows:

14.0" FHD (1920 x 1080) with WWAN

14.0" QHD (2560x1440) IPS with WWAN

14.0" QHD (2560x1440) IPS Multi-touch with WWAN



Thoughts?


Thanks in advance...
