    Does anyone have an opinion on whether to get the XGA Brightview display on a ZT3000 or the regular screen SVGA+?

    That really depends on what resolution you're most comfortable working in. If you really feel that you need a higher resolution than 1280x800 for your everyday work, then get whatever reso' you're used to working in. I personally do all my work at 1024x768. But if 1280x800 works for you and you are thinking whether or not to get the brightview on that reso'.... pretty much everyone I've talked to says the brightview is worth the extra few bucks - I wish they had it for the 1024 screens.


    Cheers,
