    HEY GUYS AND GALS!

    I am new to the forum

    I am buying a DV2000t through Hpshopping.com CTO.....i have the following question......any help would be highly appreciated! :)

    1) I have heard a lot about SEC-QDS-AUO-LPL screen......i know SEC is worst and QDS is the best...what about the other two? how do they compare?.......After i get the nootebook how do i check which screen i got? Thirdly...i heard that if i order by phone i can as the salesman for a pirticular screen.

    2) I am thinking of getting the normal screen (NOT BRIGHTVIEW) because the glossy coating on brightview reflectes light.................how much is the reflection...and do u think its such a big deal that i should order the normal screen.

    3) Assuming i order the normal screen (not BRIGHTVIEW) is the screen manufacturer problem stated in 1 applicable.......?..........in other words is the QDS-SEC-AUO-LPL screen only a problem on brightVIEW screen or it is applicable regardless of the type of screen.

    I would really apprieciate any help !

    I disagree with the premise. My daughter has a QDS version, I have the LPL.
    I edit digital images almost every day on two professional LCDs and a CRT. Now, none of the LCD planels used in the DV2000t is suitable for serious graphics production work. But I have been able to calibrate the LPL to present much more accurate colors than the QDS.

    As has been mentioned by others in this forum, the LPL does white beautifully, whereas the QDS carries a purple tinge. The LPL is the least "dirty" of the panels (dirt being the dusty specks visible to some degree in all LCDs).

    Now don't get me wrong, most people will rightly be thrilled with the QDS panel. It has a broad viewing cone, good contrast. The punchy coloration will subjectively satisfy many users more (though you can dial in the same thing on the LPL with NVidia's Digital Vibrance).

    The HP overseas sales staff is clueless. They promised me an LPL on my second order, and I received a QDS. HP corporate says they (sales) have no control over it.

    Monitor and TV makers have learned that color accuracy isn't as important as vivid color and high contrast when it comes to the showroom. Brightness is also perceived as "better", again, because it catch the eye in the showroom.

    In the field the LPL can display an image good enough that I can infer what it will look like on my Eizo CG210 in the office. That's simply astounding in a laptop in this price range.
