    Does anyone know if there is a picture comparison of the HDX's 1080p screen vs. it's regular Infinity Ultra? I'm really trying to decide whether or not to pay the extra $150 for it.....

    This post might help you. I posted some clips and pictures between the 720p screen vs the 1080p for users to compare.

    I was on the same boat as you are trying to decide which screen to get. After trying both I went with the 1080p. It took me a couple of days to get used to it but I don't regret my choice. I can't look back...

    Why did it take you a while to get used to it?

    Oh just because everything is do damn small? I think I'll go with the 720p. I don't really need 1080 and it's just too small for my liking.

    Yes it is small. But I too got used to it and like it now. It allows you to have 2 web pages open for example. However, this is one of the options you can skimp on if you're trying to save some dough.

    I'll definitely be doing that. I read somewhere that HP sometimes offers 40% off coupons. Is that true? That'd be soooo nice.

    That would be amazing. I just found out a 30% off coupon on google, not this site. Well I've followed HP coupons for 3 months and the best I've seen was 30% off.

    Shoot. That limits what I can do. Pisser. Are there any coupons that will add on to the 30% off?

    No. The 30% off is not stackable. Also I think you'd have to spend over $1000.

    I read $1199, which is easy because I wouldn't buy a configuration for less.

    You can enlarge fonts in the control panel, so there's no problem :)
