I just bought one from Accurate IT. It was made in 2002. Works great although I'm thinking I should have bought something bigger (LCD).

I'm thinking about selling the one I just bought (HP A7217A) from Accurate IT. It's perfect and I paid $499. I will sell for less. If anyone is interested, let me know. It has a 1 year warranty.

Glossy all the way. :D Go to Best Buy or Circuit City and look at the laptops. Almost all of them have glossy screens.

I don't have any flicker at all at 85hz.

Ok, cool. Thanks.

I have it at 85hz right now and it looks pretty good. What is the benefit of going to 100hz?

I set it for 1600x1000 and it squished everything toward the middle. Then I stretched with the monitor controls and it looks pretty good now. The whites are still pretty dull. It's not a gray but it's not quite white if that makes any sense. My other monitor kind of looked like this too...

Ok, I'll try that tonight. The monitor seems kind of dark. Other than cranking up Brightness is there any other way to brighten things?

I have an Nvidia 7600GT. I wasn't able to find custom settings in display properties but I installed Powerstrip and found it there. However, when I set it to 1600x1024 part of the desktop is off the screen. It's like it got stretched too far. Plus, there's a real bad flicker at 85hz. Any...

How do I get 1600x1024?

Just got my HP!! :D It looks great right out of the box. I'll have to fiddle with it a little bit but it's looks pretty good so far. There are a few nicks on the outside case but that doesn't matter to me at all. Gonna give it about an hour to warm up and then I'll start fiddling...

Thanks for the great responses. So, I guess 10 minutes isn't long enough. :p :p I'll just stare at it in the packaging for a few hours. :)

My Sony FW900 (HP) is being delivered today. It will be left by my garage until I get home. The temp is currently 16 degrees. How long should I wait before turning it on? Thanks!

New? Wow. If I hadn't just ordered an FW900 I'd definitely jump on that. I may still . . . :D

The shipping company just received my monitor from Accurate IT. :) Unfortunately, they weren't making any deliveries because of the weather. :(
