    I'm going to buy an M6 but I'm on the fence between the SXGA+ screen and the WXGA screen. Any opinions on which to choose?

    I will watch DVD's on it but I also want to use it for Photoshop and games so I'm thinking the SXGA+ might be a better choice. I've been thinking I was going to get the WXGA but now I'm wondering if I should get the SXGA+. Also, it looks like the SXGA+ screen has silver around it as opposed to the black around the WXGA.

    Any opinions? THX

    the WXGA has slightly better viewing angles and 2 extra speakers... but the SXGA has more resolution.
    Honestly, it's up to you...I didn't like widescreen so I chose the SXGA+.

    The extra speakers really shouldn't be a selling point as I don't think the sound is really much better with them.

    If you need the resolution, go with the 15.1..... if you don't, realize that you pay the same prize for a widescreen with bigger pixels.....



    Thanks,
