Resolution problem?

I just got my laptop back from servicing and i have abit problem with my resolution. I set my resolution to max and my desktop icons are crystal clear but when i set my resolution to the default one, which is when i receive my laptop the first day, it isnt as crystal clear as before, any ideas what is happening?

 

Always set resolution to max or native for your screen. Anything else will make things fuzzy.

 

Well before i changed my lcd, my resolution was set to 1280X768 and it wasnt fuzzy, its crystal clear though..

 

1280x768 isn't even the proper aspect ratio for a 16:10 screen. Set it at WSXGA+ 1680x1050, the resolution your monitor is supposed to display.

 

hmmm 16:10 screen? mmm i am using a v1jp yeah... but previously 1280 seemed to work fine without any fuzziness.

 

hmm what resolution u guys run at?

 

They might have put a newer screen in your laptop, with a larger native resolution. Most people would consider that an upgrade, but I have my doubts

Just increase the DPI setting (that will increase font sizes etc) until you are comfortable with reading the screen, and leave the resolution at the default. There's no good way to lower resolution on LCD screens.

 

hmm but my icons look small though... Yeah maybe they put a better lcd screen? lol

 

Just put the highest one. You might think it's small at first but after a week, it's perfect.

 

I actually suggest using the DPI setting if you're not comfortable with the font sizes. You'll need those eyes when you'll be 30... 40... 50...
