v3000/2000 owners, which type of screen is the better model?

Plus how do i find out before i buy the notebook?

There's been some discussion on here on the differences between 3 types of screen's on these notebooks. How do i find out, plus which is the best bet?

 

The screen manufacturer you get is based on luck. Although some people have called in & requested a particular screen but still they dont gurantee you will get the requested screen. As for as the best screens, QDS(Quanta), AUO & LPL are generally considered the best. SEC(Samsung) screens have received the most complaints.

To find out the manufacturer of the screen look under device Manager-->Monitor-->Plug n Play Monitor-->Details Tab--> You will see the Device Instance ID's listed in the white box like this-
DISPLAY\QDS005C\4&........

QDS is short for Quanta Display Systems
AUO -> AU Optronics
SEC -> Samsung
LPL -> LG Philips
CMO-> Chi Mei

 

So what's the matter? I am holding SEC screen, and I feel nothing wrong about it. Every LCD manufacture has the defect, it is matter of you are luck or not luck.

 

Its just some of the screens supposedly look better/brighter. I'm not sure if most people could notice the difference.

But, iv seen the 3000z next to one of the HP 2000 models, the HP did look slightly more crisper. Since they both use the hp design 14" form, im guessing the HP got equiped with one of the better screens.

 

I got a LG Phillips in my v3000z - looks real good,
saw a hp and compaq, in store, with bright view, both
looked dim and hard to see, so I ordered mine with out
- but I also use mine out side, and in work shops with bright
light - so gloss would be bad

not sure if it was the gloss, or just a crappy lcd, that made
it look that way tho

 

Nah, not really. They are essentially the same, so you have probably the same chance of getting the poorer screen in the dv2k or the v3k.

 

I also have a LG and I love the brightness and the way it looks
