    All, I have the opportunity to switch out my SXGA+ screen with a WXGA screen at no cost to me. The question is, should I? I realize the resolution on the SXGA+ is better, but the vertical "washout" of the screen when you're not looking straight at it is very noticable. The WXGA on the other hand is not noticable at all, or so I'm told. Any comments would be appreciated.

    Oh, and if I post anymore "Help me!" messages, be sure to ask me if it's plugged in first. [ :D]

    It really depends on what you plan to do with your notebook. For me, I opted for the M6N with the SXGA+ screen. I plan on doing programming and web design. Therefore, I need all the screen space I can afford. If you plan on just surfing the web, playing a game or two, typing up docs, and feel that a bigger sized resolution is not really necessary, then I suggest you go with the WXGA.
