    Hey guys,

    I have the Hannstar HSD 173PUW1 Glossy 17" screen on my 8170 and I'm looking to change it to a matte screen.

    Is there a consensus on the best compatible screen for this machine?

    I know there is a Hannstar HSD 173PUW1 matte screen that I could get and an LG one too apparently, I just don't know if these are the best ones to upgrade to, what "version" of the LG may be best, or if there are others that are now better.

    Thanks.

    We've used the AUO B173HW01 V5 which is a matte 72% NTSC color gamut and they've gotten really good feedback.

    I have read around that there is now a v7 - is that accurate? Because I can't find any place to buy it so it may just be bs.
