    I see Sager and resellers have the 15" matte screen available. Any word on when the 17" matte screens will be available again?

    We're currently offering a 17" 120hz matte screen upgrade on the Satori P170HM with nvidia 3D transmitter/glasses included for $200. That's the only matte screen currently available in 17" though.

    I'm waiting on word of a matte screen that will work with my setup. I've been informed over the phone and seen on here the 3D screen will not work with my setup. And I'm just talking 2D. In fact, I don't think it will work at all, unless you buy the screen with the rest of your laptop.

    We have good stock of the 72% Gamut Matte (AUO B173HW01 V.5 ) & the obvious Sager 3D Matte Screen. :)

    Some sellers don't offer the AUO v.5, there is more then just the 3D available.

    Any news in regards to what, if anything, AUO will be making to replace its discontinued line? Earlier there were rumors of new products in Q2 2011.

    We have a steady supply of them now. We will also have a steady supply of the v.4's (90% Gamut) in the coming two weeks.

    As for new models from AUO, this has not been confirmed yet. :(

    Great news, thanks. I must be confused--I thought AUO had discontinued the 17" matte screens.

    Seems like xotipc is the best way to go with NP8170 and non stock screen (3d doesn't count). Do you have a monopoly on those displays?)))
