    Hey guys,

    I have the Hannstar HSD 173PUW1 Glossy 17" screen on my 8170 and I'm looking to change it to a matte screen.

    Is there a consensus on the best compatible screen for this machine?

    I know there is a Hannstar HSD 173PUW1 matte screen that I could get and an LG one too apparently, I just don't know if these are the best ones to upgrade to, what "version" of the LG may be best, or if there are others that are now better.

    Thanks.
