    Help

    I have a sony GRV670 with SXGA 16.1 radeon 9000 64mb, and I've ordered the new zx5000 PIV 3.2 HP, 80 (5400 rpm), 128 mb Radeon, UXGA screen, DVD-r/ CD! But considering that I'm from Brazil and I coudn't see the computer before I buy it, I'm very afraid of the HP's screen!!! Comparing my sony with an old compaq, Sony is further better. What About this new one, I'm I going to regret?

    the UXGA should be good enough, and that is a Very high res screen you got so u should be happy with it.

    the Zx5000 has an Excellent Quality screen, it is probably a samsung thay make the best. the regular sony screens dont compare to the bright view, Sonys Bright view Equalivent is probably just as good. i dont know about sonys high res screens they are most likely excellent.
