That's 30" diagonal at a different aspect ratio (16:10), so the DPIs aren't as far off as they sound. The bigger problem is that neither of the linked 30" panels are LED backlit.

Also, the HP doesn't indicate panel type - which would suggest it's a TN panel.

LED backlighting is nice. But since these are LG panels, I'm sure we'll see them in refrigerators and washing machines by year's end.

Ah, quite right. I'd forgotten about those details.
