I have 2 options here either buy:
Compaq V2000 series or SONY FS550.
My preference is Compaq V2000:
definitely it's cheaper.
CONS: I went to CompUSA check V2000 with Xbrite. However, the quality is somewhat disappointing. The image quality is not as vivid as other HP/Compaq lines while they are same manufacturer. Is this because of the video card? I saw HP 17" with ATI and the image quality is as I expected.
Can anyone here explain why the Xbrite on V2000 is not as good? I found it's too much brightness, I have adjusted this as well but never achieved same result as other HP/Compaq lines.
SONY FS550 is my 2nd optionn...
