    I'm interested in purchasing one of these laptops and just had a few questions:

    1) Does the WSXGA+ resolution make the screen harder to look at? 1680X1050 just seems a bit much for a 15" screen to me.

    2) Since the native resolution is high in order to play recent games I'd have to switch to a non-native resolution, is scaling noticable on the z96j?

    3) Are there any differences in the screens besides the resolution (e.g. viewing angles)?

    apparently 1280x1024 for gaming works very well..look for JPZ's review on the z96j for more info..according to him the viewing angles are great and the resolution is perfect for the size
