    Does anyone have good detailed photos of the DV5 ? Is the screen glossy or mat finish ?
    Thanks...

    HP stopped offering matte finish screens on their consumer notebooks a while back. So, all the screens are glossy. The Infinity screens offer more gloss since they are just a layyer of glass on top of the glossy LCD. They look good but definitely reflect light lot more than even regular glossy screens.

    In any case there are detailed pictures in the review...

    I saw a dv5 on display at Best Buy, maybe it is on display at other electronics stores. In my opinion, it is well worth it to see what you are buying beforehand.
