Inspiron 9300 WUXGA pictures not clear.

I just receive my Dell Inspiron 9300 with TrueLife WUXGA Screen. When I surf the internet, all the pictures look fuzzy and not clear. I tried to lower the resolution and see, but pictures still look the same. But when I see my own pictures, it looks ok. Is there any way I can do to make the pictures look sharper, or that's way it is. Thank you for the help!!

 

If your own pictures look sharp but pictures on the internet do not then the culprit is probably the quality of the downloaded images. This makes sense because pictures on the internet typically have their quality and size drastically reduced to decrease download time, bandwidth costs, etc... Compare that to a camera image over 3megs in size. The type of picture can make a difference too. A photo is not as sharp as a 2d picture because the photo has only one point of focus.

Try an image that is clear and has minimal compression, like this fractal: http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~gwesp/fractals/snake-large.png

 

its a IE issue. download firefox and it will be fixed.

 

Are you running on the native resolution?

 

Yes, I'm running on native resolution. I just solved the problem by reset DPI to 96 and reboot. pictures look much sharper but text get much smaller .
I also try another way by reset DPI back to 120 and run FireFox with no problem. so I think IE does not support high resolution LCD.

Thank you all the helps!!

 

i prefer FF, but Dell offers an IE fix on their driver download page for this problem under "system and configuration utilities"

clicky clicky

 

I have been having the same problems with my 9300. Thanx for the help.

 

Firefox is great, no one should be using IE anyways.

 

perhaps its not the best place to ask but since we are talking about firefox, everytime i visit a page that has a .wmv file embedded into the html i get this box that says i need to install the plugin , i HAVE windows media player 10 installed here and i dont get it why it is still asking me for a plugin install

 

Yes, FF is very good. I also highly recommend checking out Opera. One of my favorite features is the way opera lets you zoom into pages. It will actually scale the images approprately, it doesn't just change font sizes.

 

i third that times a lot i explorer started getting slower and slower for some reason firefox is good but also getting slower? but still better then ie

 

I am one of the people that uses FF, I love it...as compared to IE, there is slowdown just like IE, but alot safer and stays quicker, also has a built in pop-up blocker which is nice.
