    When will we see the dv6000 (15.4 inch) series at a higher native resolution like 1680x1050?

    When HP makes it. Seriously, us as consumers don't really know what HP's plans are for such a thing unless they announce it, in which case you would know about it too.

    And I doubt that an HP employee surfing these boards can just disclose information out like that. If HP didn't put out the info, there must be a reason for it. I dont think its a good idea for some employee to leak out info about future plans.

    Most likely on the configuration page for custom orders...it won't be an announcement and the option will just pop up.

    If you really want a 15.4" WSXGA+ HP notebook I would encourage you to look at the nc8430 and the nx7400.

    you COULD swap out the LCD, but no garuntees that the system would support the resolution.

    They used to offer WSXGA+ on it a few years back. Must not have sold many of them.

    I'm hoping they add it back since of all the "HD" hype and since their competitor Dell E1505 also has WSXGA+.

    yeah I'd love to see a higer res. When I output my dv6000 via S-Video to my 50" plasma (widescreen) I get these thin black bars on side and a little at top. Even the TV zoom does nothing to get rid of that. I'm assuming its the output res on the laptop . Wish there was some way I can get rid of those lines and fit to my full screen.

    i wish that they will do that soon. I'm thinking of buying a laptop and the i really love Pavilion's design. But then because of the 1200 x 800 resolution, i think i will have to buy something else that supports 1680 x 1050. if by march they still not offering that, i guess i will have to buy Dell Inspiron (but i do not like the design). Owh well, i can only hope..

    Is there any software that can boozt resultion someway so I can at least get the S-Video output to my plasma without those black line at top when viewing widescreen and normal screen. It just doesn't fit the whole screen thats all.
