    I got my i6000 WSXGA+ for almost a month now, and I left my resolution set to the default setting of 1680x1050 with 120dpi.

    The problem I found with this setting is that most of the graphics in the website aren't very clear. After 'playing around' with the settings for a bit, it was because the dpi setting wasn't set to the normal size (96dpi). Now the graphics in the website looks normal, but the text is too small. After experimenting with different settings, I ended up using the factory default setting.

    Just wondering what display settings other WSXGA owners use.

    Probably too late now, but out of curiosity, do owners with WUXGA have similar issue?

    Thanks a lot!

    I got no problems reading 1680x1050 on my 6000d with regular 96 dpi... even at somewhat of a distance.

    All you people complainng about the text being too small to read outta just get your eyes checked!
