    So far I love the screen and resolution on my new WUXGA. Has anyone else noticed that the images on some sites are real choppy? Is that just because the resolution is so high?

    Not sure if it's the same problem I had; but if you mean jaggedy then it's because when you recieve the laptop from Dell the DPI is set to 120 ( I noticed this in my E1705 as well as my gf's 6000) If you want to change it to normal, go to Display properties->Settings->Advanced->General and change the DPI setting to Normal (96 dpi). It will make everything smaller albeit much clearer.

    That was it, thanks for your help.

    But wow, that is small.
