I've got one of those notebooks. It's a great picture, but you'll need

glasses ! :-)

You'll have a very hard time finding any 17 " or 19" with more than 
1280*1024.
I have a Samsung 213T (which is actually a 21") that does 1600*1200, but 
most
20" does that too.
It's not really that big (compared to my previous 21" Eizo CRT, 26 kg !! 
urrk),
and the picture is awesome.
