    I have a Dell 1505 laptop. What resolution do most of you keep it set at? I never owned a laptop and I am used to my desktop. Thanks for your advice.

    If you ordered the WSXGA+ Ultrasharp screen, the max resolution is 1680 by 1050

    for notebook LCDs you have to run at your native resolution or else everything becomes fuzzy and "un-crisp".

    that's why it's important to research what resolution you prefer BEFORE buying the notebook because you will be stuck with it.

    ronss, we can read your posts just fine without you posting in BOLD. also, the resolution is not limited to WXGA (1280x800).
