M1530 now available with WUXGA( 1920X1200) Resolution!

M1530 now available with the full HD resolution ( 1920x1200)!!
All of you out there that wants to watch FULL HD movies, play Full HD games, or have the most detailed laptop screen out there, consider this upgrade.
It's a $100-175 upgrade from the normal WXGA resolution depending on your configuration.

**Warning: You may lose some vision!**

 

trust this to happen now i have a damn samsung 1680!

 

Took awhile why do they not release things like this earlier?

 

You're going to need a magnifing glass in order to see anything on it!

 

seen it on a 17" and its awesome but small..on a 15"??? good if your eyes are under 40!!!lol

 

1900x1200 uhhh heaven...

 

1900x1200 on 15.4? personally i dont think its worth it, granted what xps1330 said for movies its a great investment(if you watch a lot of HD movies), but game side at that resolution as native man you are guaranteed to lose frame rates.

 

WOW, 1680x1050 should have been the limit!

i dont know who would buy the 1080p resolution!

only thing it would be good for is movies, anything else such as reading text will be very difficult.

 

I wonder who will manufacteure these screens....

 

Just talked to a Rep: LG and Samsung.

But they can't garantee which one it'll be, he just told me without me asking. He probably already figured this would be my next question!! But he saw them already and asured me IT LOOKS JUST AWESOME (what else do you excpect him to say, the chat is probaly monitored)!!!

Speak for yourself!

I'm upset as I haven't been able to get a Dell 15" laptop with a 1600x1200+ resolution since my old Dell Inspiron 8100 (or was it 8200 humm)...

I buy my 1520 and what do they do... Release that resolution class again on the 15"! Damn them!

For me, that resolution is the best resolution on a 15" and I've never had problems reading anything at that size on it...

Mind you my handwriting is smaller than the text on the screen anyways so I'm probably in a minority there

 

Totally agree with you I cant see myself owning a 15" with anything under 1680x1050. I wouldn't mind trading in my 1680x for a 1920x

 

Yeah, the 1920x1200 is definitely worth it for me. After all, it's just $50 over the 1680x1050, and you can just keep it at 1680x1050 for every day use, then use the 1920x1200 for 1080p movies, etc.

 

be careful, we are talking about LCD here not CRT. It will look like crap if you lower the 1920x to 1680x. It is suppose to be set at its Native Res which is 1920x1200.

 

I don't get that. If I lower the res down to 1280X800 won't it look the same as my WXGA screen? The screen's are the same size

 

Nope, that isn't how it works with LCD screens. A monitor is designed to run on it's native resolution and if you try and change it down the screen will attempt to adjust to fit the size but it will never be as clear as native res. Try it with your current LCD monitor.

 

If anyone had any comparison shots, that would have been awesome..

Intially i went with the 1920 1200 screens but i changed it to the LED WXGA+A screen.

Now i am having second thoughts lol..


Btw does anyone know what the brightness is rated at for the WUXGA screen? (compared to the 300cd^2/m brightness rated for the WXGA+ LED screen)

 

I have a Latitude D800 with this resolution and size and really like it. But the new screens (my laptop is almost 5 years old) surely benefit from tech improvements, so it should be even better!

Actually I'm looking for a replacement for my D800 (seems like wifi is dying), and hesitated between the XPS M1530 and Asus G1Sn, but I'll go for the Dell because of this available resolution.

 

seriously the 1920 resolution is way tooooo small and I have 20/20 vision. Dopeople really need this reso?

 

Xps gen 1 had 1920x1200 and I loved it, I don't think it's too small for a 15.4 inches. You just need time for your eyes to adjust to it.

 

id rather get a 27 inch LCD with that res, it wont hurt your eyes and looks way better for watching movies.

 

I've just ordered XPS M1530 with that awesome resolution. Worked on 1680x1050 and I hope this won't be a mistake

 

A 27" screened-notebook would be some machine to carry around! Whatever the screen size, the greater the pixel density, the easier it is on the eyes to see an equally sized image on the screen. The size of the image / text depends on software settings, not the hardware. A WUXGA 15.4" screen, once the software settings are correct for the hardware, is much easier on the eyes reading text than a WXGA 15.4", etc.

 

Because of the higher pixel density, the WUXGA is just as readable. It'll be smaller, but it will be legible.

1920x1200 on a 24" looks OK. 1920x1200 on my 17" is just about usable without going down the Big Fonts route.

1920x1200 on a 15" display seems to be a little bit ahead of its time. Vista makes a good effort at being resolution independant but, unforunately, most applications still aren't.

It's only a matter of time before 1920x1200 or 1920x1080 screens drop to 14" and lower sizes, but it will take an increase in font sizes as well as size increases for all other graphical elements before it would be sensible to use such displays.

 

I'm with VinylPusher - I too have 1920x1200 on my XPS 1710 and WUXGA is on the border of being usable. I wouldn't go any higher before things just get too small.

It's pretty amusing because when I go on my fiancee's 1024x768 12" 4:3 monitor, everything is horribly pixelated like the old-school Atari games.

 

It wouldn't even be a "luggable."
Maybe a "wheelable."

 

It used to be that a higher resolution was more desirable for the relative screen real-estate that it enabled. I used a 14" portable TV with my Commodore Amiga for a long time and wished that anything above 640x256 was usable. Then I got a 15" monitor and wished I could go above 800x600.

When I got a PC, I moved to an Iiyama 19" CRT which did 1280x1024 very nicely, but I still wished I could go to a 21" CRT for 1600x1200. The 19" could do it, but only at a flickery 60Hz.

Now everything (well, mostly) is LCD, 1920x1200 is becoming quite a common resolution. Last year, only a very few top-end HDTV's were 1080p. This year, the same TV's are a quarter of the price and there are more and four times the number of 1080p models available.

It's the same with monitors. 1920x1200 was seriously top-end less than 18 months ago. Now we've got quite a large number of laptops sporting WUXGA as at least an upgradable option.

Prediction? 2560x1600 17" laptop displays before Christmas, set for the "portable CAD workstation" market. Likely with a 9xxx series Nvidia card driving it (or the Quadro equivalent).
