Can you post some pictures of the matte screen? Aside from the colors, does the matte screen show reflections in sunlight and overhead light sources?
-
It isn't a true matte, more like the Sony Z screens. Has slight glare but is def much better than a glossy lcd (aside from the quality).
-
For those that received the 2nd gen Envy, can you please confirm the software that was included?
I just saw Corel launched the X3 version of their software. Do we get a free upgrade?

Let us know if you can figure out which display is the best quality, for me higher color gamut would be a plus. I would not be opposed to spending some $$ for a much better quality display. -
You are better off to get your machine repaired (tell them to ship a new one out directly since yours was DOA) than to defraud HP by swapping a less expensive panel with a more expensive one and returning the "new" computer. -
I think it is worth mentioning what clock speeds you ran the bench on then. -
So what util are ppl using to up the 5830 settings and what is a good, read semi safe, clock settings to use?
-

Any pictures with the matte screen? Will get mine next Monday or Tuesday. Do they all look bluish? I suppose it looks like any other business laptop that with a matte screen, like Thinkpad T series, Dell Latitude E series.
I did not find any NEW envy unboxing videos on youtube. -
545/1100 are my maximum stable overclocks, id say then that 540/1090 would be 100% safe 24/7. Yours may be different... just use Furmark and let it run in the back as you up the clocks and when it freezes or artifacts just back it down... -
550/1000 stable here.
Haven't increased mem past that yet, though -
Wow, I just got my Envy and I gotta say, you guys had me thinking I was gonna open it up, find dirt and scratches on it, it would squeak when I put my hand on the keyboard, my glossy screen would suck, the speakers would be distorted, it would run out of batteries as soon as I turned it on, it would melt my lap, the mouse pad wouldn't work, and that performance on battery would be slow as molasses....
Boy was I pleasantly surprised.
I have been following this thread for weeks and last night I actually had a dream that I opened the box and it was the crappiest laptop you can imagine with things hanging off and dirt etc.
I don't know whether to be mad at you guys for giving me nightmares, or thank you for making this laptop seem even more awesome when I opened it
This laptop is awesome! -
Glad to hear you have no issues.
That doesn't discount the fact that others have -
I have two questions on clean install -
Can I restore the recovery partition (by creating a disk image)?
Do we need to have the recovery partition intact when we send it back to hp? -
Hi there,
I am doing my fresh install of Win7 (not the version provided with the laptop), and I cannot get the FN keys to work properly.
I know many of you made the clean install, so could you tell me where I can the right drivers/soft for those FN key functions?
Thx -
Just use the recovery media option in the start menu, which will create backup discs.
No, you don't need anything on the HDD to send it back. lol -
-
Sorry, I can't help you with a video. -
Any thought?
Also, where did you get your GPU drivers from?
AMD sends me back to HP, and I cannot locate those drivers on HP website...
Thanks -
Mobility drivers can't be had direct from AMD and HP is dragging with the driver page as it isn't up yet.
did you backup the swsetup folder? That's where all the drivers are/were on your system (c: drive). -
hmmmmm -
-
Unfortunately, no...
I still have the recovery part of the disk (15 gigs). If I do the recovery of the system, will it regenerate this directory? -
Does anyone else have USB 2 problems from any port? I cannot watch a movie without stuttering, I can't even transfer a couple files without total slow speed and then complete freeze and hard restart.
Everything is factory install, I've not done anything but remove Norton and install Windows updates to see if that helped, but it didn't. -
I am becoming really desperate...
How the hell can I use the recovery partition provided by HP on my HDD?
The BIOS would not let me boot from this partition D:/ as it find Win7 on C:/.
Is the only way I have to order a HP back-up CD?
Thx -
I have never used a recovery partition before, i always just format EVERYTHING and fresh install... so i cant help you there, sorry.
Maybe if you are located around someone else on here, you can have them throw it on a dvd disk for you and you can pick it up. Im in Southern California if you are interested. -
-
-
Apparently I should be able to turn the computer back to factory settings...that is if HP softwares stop messing with me!
I'll see how it goes tonight with the recovery...how big are the drivers files (all)? -
Anyone else find Firefox UI/Interface too small on 1080p? I've got my DPI at 125% but that isn't changing the Firefox Theme buttons etc.
-
Ran PC Wizard but it isn't show a specific model, Just the LGD0258.
-

-
swsetup for me was over 2GB, IIRC.
-
Hello,
How did you guys get new ATI drivers on your envy's? I tired to do a fresh win7 install and it's having trouble recognizing the 5830. I used mobility modder with catalyst 9.12 but it doesn't seem to work. Perhaps it's a bad download? -
I'm using the HP driver.
-
FYI, My experience with the battery so far:
I did light to moderate web browsing for 90 minutes with the brightness at 3 clicks below full. The battery had just over 50%.
Then I downloaded an 800MB torrent and continued the browsing. The torrent took about 45 minutes to complete, and I closed the BT client right after and continued browsing. When I got to the critical battery level (8%), the total time was 2.5 hours.
I could have surely surpassed 3 hours without the torrent. -
Thanks for the info! -
-
-
150% is way too much.
I am running a custom 130% and it's about right. Some browsers don't take DPI settings though. -

Is it true the new Envy 15 still has intel 5100 wifi ? , ouch
-
-
So do you guys just set the DPI in windows and use Firefox how it is? Cause the firefox interface looks really small.
