G51Vx Screen Resolution

The G51Vx is a killer laptop. Only I am skeptical about the resolution. 1366x768 seems too crowded and 1920x1080 seems to make everything too tiny to read. I think a 1440x900 would be perfect.

For those of you who have the 1920x1080, is everything really small ?

Your best bet would be to go in a store and look at the screens yourself.

 

actally i meant 1600x900

 

you can change the resolution you know, the native resolution only shows the largest resolution that you can have. So if you get the 1920*1068 then you can use that resiolution and everything below.

 

But you really wouldn't want to do that, especially in normal Windows/on your desktop.

It's look horrible, and monitors always look best in their native res.

I personally can deal with any res, I like 1440x900 and 1600x(whatever it was again). 1920x1080 is good, but a bit small and usually racks up a higher price, and anything below what I said before is just too low.

But like most things, it's just personal preference. I recommend checking them out yourself and seeing if it looks good.

 

I was going to post a picture of my desktop, but either this site or photobucket isn't displaying it in the correct resolution.

 

you see, when you zoom into that picture, the resolution is crap, i can hardly read anything and its all fuzzy.

 

That's because the picture I posted wasn't in 1366x768, it was in a lower resolution. Zooming in on it would make it all pixelated, and defeated the purpose.

That's why I pulled the picture off.

Just go to Best Buy, look at the screens, and decide for yourself?

 

so take another picture at 1366*768 and post it.

 

No no no. I'm doing a print screen and saving it.

In between uploading the picture to photobucket and posting it here, the image is made smaller. It would be like taking a picture with a camera phone and then blowing it up really big; it's going to look crappy.

On another forum I go to, an uploaded image is resized and you're given the option to open a new window and see it at the correct resolution. Here it just displays the image; it should fill my screen up, and it's not.

So posting another picture wouldn't help.

But the only way for you to decide on which resolution you like better is to go to your local Best Buy and have a look yourself. The whole thing is very subjective. Some people like higher resolutions, I personally hate them.

 

no...when you are linked to picture and it gives you that little magnifying glass it means that it will turn the picture to its original resolution, in this case 1366*768. so if i zoom in, it will show the exact thing that you are seeing. so if i cant read it and it is fuzzy when i zoom in , then it is fuzzy on your screen.

 

That's weird, because I didn't get that magnifying glass.

And 1366x768 certainly wouldn't look "fuzzy." There's just a breakdown in between the image on my computer to the image on yours. You're zooming where you shouldn't have to zoom, and making the pixels larger.

 

of course your not seeing the magnyfying glass of a 1366*768 picture on a 1366*768 screen.

 

I don't think you understand what I'm talking about.

When I post the image on this website, it is resized to half of what it should be. Selecting "view image" doesn't give me the option to zoom in the picture like it should.

So YOU are basically zooming an image that is, let's say, 800x600 (for the sake of argument) to whatever resolution you're currently viewing. It isn't going to work.

The image you are seeing is NOT the right image. Don't worry about it. FOrget it even existed. That's why I deleted the post.

Just go to Best Buy and look at the screens yourself. Stop worrying about the picture, dammit.

 

no there wouldnt be a zoom option because the entire thing already fits on my screen, it resizes it to fit on the screen, the magnifying sets it back to normal.

 

/self is the HTML tag I need for real life.

 

you mean < /self>

 

The lower res screen is perfectly fine for gaming, but that's it.
If you want to use it for photoshop or CAD work the higher res screen comes in handy.

 

Nah, /self would be the HTML tag I'd use to end me.

[self]*insert me*[/self]

 

This. The only other things I do on this laptop are surf the internet and write papers.

But in all seriousness, the best thing to do is have a look for yourself. The debate is too subjective.

Although the 1366x768 side has cookies.

 

all it is is a widescreen version of 800*600 up one step

 

I haven't seen too many sites that use <> instead of [].

 

html uses <>, [] is some stupid forum thingy

 

Damn, you're right.

My bad. Brain fart.
