The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    What is better
    17.0" WXGA+ Ultra BrightView Widescreen (1440x900)
    Bigger, brighter, better!! HP's Ultra BrightView is a composite of all available LCD technologies currently offered by HP consumer notebooks. Ultra BrightView displays include an improved color gamut rated at 72% - more colors can be displayed as a result of the improved technology!
    or
    17.0" WSXGA+ BrightView Widescreen (1680x1050)
    Bring images and movies to life with HP's BrightView technology! BrightView technology improves the contrast and clarity of your notebook display screen. The 17-inch WSXGA+ BrightView display with high-definition means brighter, more vivid and color-rich images like you've never seen before in a notebook computer. The superb resolution of WSXGA+ (1680x1050 pixels) delivers movies, photos, gaming, and multi-tasking at a whole new level. High-Definition content (e.g. WMV HD files) is required to view high-definition images. Most current DVDs do not provide high-definition images.

    For a 17" screen, I'd say the 2nd option would be best. Resolution matters a lot, and these screens are too bright nowadays anyway.
