Rather, it's a reflective display that uses a PNLC (Polymer Networked Liquid Crystal) module for improved brightness, and HR-TFT (high-reflective thin film transistor) technology to add contrast.
Display: 1, 300:1 contrast ratio, 16 million color reproduction, 400 Nit brightness, 12 second boot time.
Viewing angles were very similar on both machines, but as you'll notice, at half brightness it's the LED backlit MBP that's dimmer, and the CCFL display that's actually brighter.
