    Hello, I'm new here. Before I post my problem, I first want to state that I don't know a whole lot about laptops / computers, although I do know more than your average computer user. (So please forgive me if my question seems stupid.)

    Well, I just purchased a Dell 600m, and, so far I'm pretty satisfied with my laptop (although I do wish I got a Inspiron 6000 instead...). Anyway, I noticed that when I view some images on the web, they don't look as "crystal clear" as they would on my desktop. It's like.... they are some-what pixelated, and the transition between the different hues of the colors aren't so smooth. I have changed the screen settings to 90 DPI, but that doesn't help... So is there anything I can do to make my laptop's image quality better, or am I stuck with this? Here are my stats on my laptop (By the way, does this sound like a good laptop? I wish I found this site before I purchased my laptop... it's really great!) :

    Dell Inspiron 600M
    Intel Pentium M processor 725(1.60GHz,400MHz)
    14.1-in XGA, w/ 32MB Video
    512MB,DDR,266MHz 2 Dimms, Inspiron 600m
    60GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive for Inspiron 600m

    the standard setting is 96 dpi, not 90.... not sure if that's a typo or if that is really what you changed it to....

    try 96 and report back... if it's still unsatisfactory, we'll go from there

    Yeah, it's 96 dpi, not 90 dpi. Sorry about that...
