    Hey all,

    I finally pulled the trigged and ordered my M17X :D
    SpaceBlack ,i7 720QM , 4 GIG RAM, 2x500 GB HD, 4870 Xfire and RGB LED screen

    Just had a question about future proof.
    Did anyone game with his RGB ledscreen at a non-native resolution? Just want to know if the image is still acceptable to not effect the gameplay?
    (As i reckon within 3 years or so, ill have to lower the resolution down to get a descent FPS.)

    You will have no problems running games at native res on the M17x.
