1920x1200 resolution COMING SOON for the M1530.

Even people with perfect eyesight would find it impossible to see the difference between 720p and 1080p on a 15" screen under normal viewing conditions. In fact you would be hard pressed to see the difference on anything below 37".

 

I use a 30" dell with and 18" either side. I'm a developer and I've reduced the font point in .net to 8 so I can get way more code on the screen while running the actual app on the 18".

I had the 1680 screen delivered yesterday with my new 1530 and it was the crap samsung. Have since checked out wuxga on a 1530 and it looks pretty impressive so I've sent the 1680 back and re-ordered the 1920x1200.

I use my laptop purely for a business machine so it's mainly coding etc. The resolution is perfect for my eyes so I'm glad this option is available.

There's no point arguing whether it's stupid or not to have this resolution as it's each to their own. I'm certainly not buying a machine with 1920x1200 to say I've got a big resolution. I'm buying it as it will increase my productivity and I'm used to having lot of space.

 

Sledge, I have similar work requirements. In order to do my job efficiently, I need to have as much..stuff on my desktop at the same time as possible. I need several browser windows side by side and a bunch of other windows in the corners.

Having a hi-res screen means I can skip setting up another monitor and have an viable working machine that's simple to carry around.

To each their own, you know? I have a WUXGA Inspiron 6000 and while it isn't the easiest thing on the eyes, it's very useable.

 

If I were to select this screen option on a new laptop, then just reduce the res to 1440, would there be any issues with viewing? To clarify, would reducing the resolution make it identical to a native 1440 screen?

If so, (and if Dell confirms that the manufacturer isn't Samsung) I'm gonna snatch this sucker up.

 

The pixels would be so small that I don't know if you'd see much difference.
But it wouldn't be the same as a 1440 at native resolution.

 

Reducing the size to 1440 would give you blur. The next true mode it could display would be 960x600. What you can do is increase the DPI of your fonts so you can read them while retaining the desktop space.

 

HI all, I found this thread because I was looking for an explanation on who really finds usefull 1920x1200 resolution, I find it really annoying and I get dizzy using Outlook and other stuff. I am 28 years old and dont wear glasses (dont need them in case you are wondering). I believe I have a good pair of eyes and still find it ridiculous small the 1920x1200 resolution. I am very dissapointed with Lenovo for making my T61P 6458-AF9 (15.4") screen with such an unproductive resolution for what I do.
I must say the machine is really great, very powerfull and its kind of a desktop replacement, but I am still very angry with Lenovo because of the LCD screen. I tried several things, anything below native resolution looks blury. After searching and searching I finally got something to use (althought its not perfect). I use the native resolution (mentioned before) and used large fonts and 120 DPI Icons. This way its preety much confortable althought there are still things like parts of Webpages under Internet Explorer 7 which look really small.

 

I really enjoy the 1920*1200 resolution (note: on my 15.4 inch xps m1530). Fits my needs perfectly & even when I change the native resolution the words don't blur @ all. I'm used to my 17' desktop with 1280*1024 & it was really strange @ first changing back & forth however you will get used to it but I prefer the 1920*1200 display.
