Which screen to choose from ?

I am thinking to buy m1530 in 2 days

I don't want to make mistake before I order anything

I need to choose good screen?What do you think would be great screen?

 

I really wouldn't recommend 1920x1200 on a 15.4" screen. I've used that resolution on a 17", and everything is really tiny.
1440x900 should be fine.

 

1280x800 just because I enjoy 1280x800 and it's just the right resolution.
And you get more eye-candy in games without sacrificing too much performance.

 

Go with the LED screen.

 

Yep, though I don't really like the resolution, I would go with the LED - no question.

 

don't get the LED. not worth it and LED is overrated. get the wxga+ lcd and 2mp cam

 

The WXGA+ is not offered at the moment.

 

+1, LED is overrated

 

I didn't get the LED, it wasn't available in Jan..I love my LG on my 1530 though...but alas...I voted for the LED (I have a friend who has it, and it's nice).

 

I'd order the 1440x900 CCFL in the hope of getting an LG.
The best screens I've seen have been LG CCFL screens, and that includes looking at Sonys that had LED screens. The only Dell LED screen I've seen is the one that came on the M1330 that I sent back (LCD2306), which was more than a little grainy, was yellowish, and had less than optimal colors in the orange range.
I have 1920x1200 on a 17" Inspiron and sometimes things like images on webpages are a little small. I'm sure it would be worse on a 15".
1280x800 looks good on a 13.3", but I think I'd like more desktop space with a 15".

 

ok looks like results shows I am going with LED...

 

Full Hi Definition, glossy widescreen 15.4 inch LCD (1920x1200) & 2.0 M FTW~

 

Id definitely go with the LED. Being one who is used to WSXGA+... well, I would seriously go with a WSXGA+ LED if it was available in a heartbeat, but... its not, so... why bother.

I have an LED WXGA+, it is very nice and the display is really the perfect display. I just wish I had a bit more real estate like I had with the WSXGA, I really do. I have seriously considered the WUXGA since it gives the ultimate screen freedom, but I really don't like the fact after being with it for about a week that I always had to be about 1 to 1.5 feet in front of the screen in order to see it and I always had to hunch over to see some things clearly. Though the text on WUXGA is sharp, leaning back a bit makes it too small to read so.. yeah.

LED is the best for VELB (Vibrant Efficient Lightweight Bright) displays.
Comparing my LED WXGA+ to WUXGA, though the WUXGA does have a lot of screen space, the colors and brightness of the screen really don't give much justice to the resolution.

Sure turning up font size is an option, but it ends up making WUXGA much smaller like a 1440x900. Another thing I noticed is that when developing graphics on photoshop, the graphic though may look nice on the screen, but being a web designer, the text looks way too weird on smaller resolutions which kinda makes it a disadvantage.

So really for me, the LED WXGA+ outweighs the WUXGA. Now if they came out with an LED WUXGA, yeah I'd probably go for it, but... for now its nor really great. Sure WUXGA has more pixels, but it doesnt matter if the colors arnt bright enough and the movie your watching doesnt have as great color reproduction when your watching it. Comparing the pros:

LED
+ Lightweight as it shaves 100 grams off M1530
+ Less strain of GFX card and processor allowing me to run programs and do things much more efficiently, OS feels faster
+ Brightness is perfect and makes all other computers look like they are in the dark. Once I Laid eyes on it, I cant believe I could use CCFLs.
+ LED Bulbs have a lifespan of 50,000 hours or more whereas CCFLs last around 20,000 hours, plus CCFLs dim over time whereas LED bulbs dim very minimally and usually dont at all until they reach the end of their lifespan.
+ Color reproduction is much better, no grain whatsoever, display is very vibrant and feels like you could reach into your screen and gram everything thats there
+ I can lean back and type as I wish from about 2+ feet away from the screen. excellent for lying down on the couch or reading from farther distances.
- Less Screen Room limited by resolution

WUXGA
+ Real estate. Can have internet, word processing, and watch a video at the same time
+ More pixels
- Heavier compared to LED, by 100 grams on M1530
- More strain on GFX Card to Maintain Resolution
- Have to raise DPI which makes it look like a smaller res and everything looks weird
- Takes more battery life being a CCFL display
- More Screen Room
- Have to lean into the screen often to make sure your seeing something right and you are unable to lean back or sit properly. Expect to hold it much closer to you 1ft when your around the couch.
- Photoshop development with anything that requires text makes font very very small to read for WUXGA and oftentimes the resulting image looks too enlarged on the screen.

Theres my list of pros and cons for you that I compiled to help me decide. Though I didnt include WSXGA+, it would be perfect if they offered that resolution with LED, but they dont. Unfortunately Dell seems to think that it must be similar to the macbook pro in speccing and since mbp doesnt have 1680 native res, XPS M1530 shouldnt either. Though what Dell doesnt understand is that if they did, Im sure it would be much more popular.

 

nice forte

 

Dang Forte, I have to admit I like your enthusiam for this screen, but you keep mentioning the 100 gram weight difference. That's 3.75 ounces. I don't care if you're schlepping the thing up the steep side of Mount Kilimanjaro, there's no way you'd be able to detect such a weight difference without a postal scale.

I'm just saying.
