Which display should I get on a hewlett packard 17 inch screen notebook?

Question

There are 3 kinds 1. Brightview 1440x900 resolution which is included in the price 2. Brightview 1680x1050 resolution which costs 50 more dollars 3. Ultra Brightview 1440x900 resolution which is an extra 125 dollars and also i'd like to look at the differences myself before i fork out the money how would i do that? I'm ordering online!

Answer 1

I would go with the 1680x1050 which is what I have. It is equivalent to 1280x1024 on a non wide screen monitor. I don't find it hard to read text and it makes it easier to work with to programs side by side such as excel and word. The differences between the brightveiw and ultra brightview is the ultra has two lamps behind the screen instead of one. I have not seen the ultra version so I cant tell you if it looks better but I have heard that it does. The drawback is that it will use more power so when you are running on the battery it won't last as long. The best way to tell the difference would be to go to best buy or a place like it that has hp laptops.

Answer 2

It seemed that you are bent in getting an HP. Just a suggestion, get one with three (3) years warranty from HP. You'll thank me for it. For me getting the Ultra Brightview is fantastic but just as a precaution, it uses a lot of battery power just to illuminate your 17" TFT Screen. What I can advise you is that look at all three monitors and just choose which one is kind to your eyes. Anyway you will be the one using them. Good luck and hope I helped a little!

Answer 3

Honestly, I used to work for Hewlett-Packard before they became HP Invent (compact). Do not purchase one of their laptops, you'll regret it. This is not the old HP quality, this is cheap, made in China cra*. If you insist on tossing your money away, you'll not be able to use any resolution greater than 1024X768 without straining your eyes. Laptops don't make good gaming machines so you don't need the super, can power a 32 inch wide screen HDTV capability.
