    For any owner of this notebook, can you tell me if I buy the WLED 1440x900 screen I can use the 1280x800 resolution changing in windows screen properties?
    Cause in my country the WLED screen only came with this screen model and I don't know if the option is available.

    Thanks and regards!

    I'm not exactly sure of what you are asking. Do you want to know if its possible to set the 1440x900 screen to run at 1280x800 from within windows? If thats what you are asking the answer is yes, you can set the display to run at a lower resolution from within windows. I should warn you that your screen may not look as good when it is set below its native resolution.

    Yes you can, but it won't look good since it is not its native resolution.

    Yes, that was the question! Cause I want the LED screen with the Studio 15 and only 1440x900 resolution is available with it (not 1280x800).
    Thanks for your help
