Well, bigger yes.. better... not so sure...
Many people say that the f180 is a lower cost lcd to compete with the lower end market. Not that many people could afford the $3000+ initial cost of the 1600sw. I've also heard that the 1600sw was actually manufactured by SGI where as the f180 is being made by some other company and being branded by sgi. There are also some reviews that I have read that say the f180's performance does not fully measure up to it's older 1600sw brother. Then there is the undeniable fact that the 1600sw is the sweetest looking lcd ever...
