    Ok for those of you who have the HP 8530p with the WSXGA+ (1680x1050) screen I have a question for you! what's it like, more specifically what are the Blacks like, for my needs I need to view my PC with white text on black background. so I NEED the blacks to be good. the issue is there is no were in 300 miles that sells HP business comps so I can't actually see the screen.

    screens that I have at home to compare:
    Acer 22 16:10, 1680x1050) matte LCD
    HP 24 2804h 1920x1200 glossy LCD
    Lenovo T500 LED WXGA 1280x800 LCD
    Acer Ferrari 5000 1680x1050 LCD
    Dell SXPS 16 RGB 1920x1080 LED LCD.

    I'm really only conserned with blacks.

    so can you kind souls give a objective comparasion to any of the above panels or to ANY notebook that I can find in Bestbuy, futureshop or staples?

    Thanks so much!

    well, i have a 8510p gb967ea with a wsxga+ 1680x1050 screen and i am very satisfied with it. here are two photos, one with, one without flash of a white text on a black background (its powerpoint 2010 > full screen presentation):

    sry, i didnt clean the screen and i used a digital cam so there might be some artifacts etc.

    btw. the successors of the 8#30 series are coming in january/february 2010, so you might look for a 8540p

    Yes it will be the same CCFL backlit panel. Well, you might get one from a different manufacturer (differs from batches of notebooks). Ask dtwn to check his for you.

    It maybe the same or may not. Depends on who is the manufacturer of the screen.
