FWIW I just bought an HP ZV5255US yesterday and ran across the same
thing. The demo model had the higher resolution, and when I opened
mine at home, it also had the1680x1050 screen.
All I can say is, don't knock it.

BTW How do you like your Compaq so far?

Love the laptop. The speed and power are very nice, but the best is
the high definition screen.

So far so good. It feels much more sturdy than my old laptop.
