I have an HP pavillion ze5200…And this thing has the worst display. I used to love it but now that I have to use it for most of my design stuff while my computer gets fixed. It sucks. I spent a very long time designing a layout only to view it on a CRT and the colors are screwed up. My laptop screen is very light so things look overblown if I go to light. But too light on a lap is just right on a CRT. Good example FEFFCD shows up as almost white on my laptop. But on my CRT FEFFCD is almost a bright yellow. Its impossible to design on this stupid thing. I normally just use it for modelling and compositing. AAARRRGH…ok rant over. I want to sell this thing so bad and get a laptop with a better display.
