    Love my new nx9420, but strongly dislike the 1440x900 LCD viewing angles and matte finish.

    I am thinking of either:

    1. Getting the PixelBright treatment by Screentek
    2. Replacing with a higher viewing angle glossy screen at the same resolution

    Can anyone comment on:

    1. Experiences with PixelBright, if you have seen it or done it to your own laptop. Will it improve the viewing angle as they seem to imply on the Screentek site?

    2. Part numbers for HP LCD panels at 17" 1440x900 with BrightView so I could order the right one from Screentek, if I go that route? I'm specifically interested in manufacturer, as I hear LG is a great panel.


    I do understand that I could always get the glossy 1680x1050 in a different model, but I like this one and its resolution.


    Thanks,
    William
