Whats the difference? (Screen)

What's the difference between:

Hi Resolution/Bright, glossy widescreen 15.4 WLED display (1440x900)
Hi Resolution, glossy widescreen 15.4 inch display (1920x1200)

Please I don't know the difference between this sizes and the fact that one says bright but one doesn't. Which one is better?

Thanks in advance!

 

Well the specifications says it all.

The first one is the same size panel, but comes in a lower native resolution. It also uses an LED backlight, which is better for power consumption/battery life.

The 2nd one is a higher resolution screen that uses the traditional cold cathode backlighting.

That's it. It would be better if you could find out the manufacturer of those 2 panels...

 

I don't know what those sizes are.
I have no idea how to figure out the manufacturer.

 

15.4" means that the monitor's size is app. 13" x 8.15" (assume that the monitor have 16:10 aspect ratio)

Every monitor is made of pixels. Picture a monitor as a table (or grid... my english is bad ), and each cell in the table can produce a color. So picture is formed as a set of pixels that produces different colors.

Resolution (numbers such as 1440x900) means that the monitor have 900 rows of pixels with 1440 pixels in each row. Generally, it's good to have higher numbers here.

I hope you now have an idea what are the sizes

I guess there are some tech documentation on Dell's (or wherever you saw that specification) site.

 

Ok thanks sleep'walker. im looking on dell.ca(because im in canada) ill try to find out.

Would you happen to know which option will be better and last longer?

 

It depends on you:
The second display have better resolution (so, you can work with more stuff at the same time, or have better image quality in games or movies) but the first display have LED backlight which means longer battery life.
Just think this way: if you need longer battery life pick the first; if you need better image quality, or larger 'workspace' pick the second.

About which one will last longer, I really have no idea. I guess there no difference.

 

Ok thanks sleep walker. you have helped so much!!!!!

 

lol I guess I was too technical for you to understand, but sleepwalker pretty much said what I did. my bad..

 

lol yea sorry D3X. I suck at computers. But i'm trying to learn.

so because i dont "need" high image quality i should go for the 1st one?

 

Yeah, the first one seems to be a better solution. I personally would go with the LED backlight because of the power/battery increase. Traditional backlighting can take up to 20-40% of the total notebook power consumption, so using an LED backlight would increase battery life.

The resolution may also be a little more suitable for the average user, at 1920x1200 on a 15" screen is actually very high so everything from your desktop, to text, and to icons will look very tiny.

 

oooo. yea i dont like tiny. and im only going to use the studio 15 for my last year of high school and 4 years of business school. I would think that the LED one will be good.

 

You made a good choice w/WLED screen. I've used a few notebooks and still have 4 other Dell LCD screen notebooks at home and the WLED screen in the Studio17 is by far the brightest of them all.

 

yay!!!. lol. how is your studio 17. my mom is thinking of getting one. what color did you get? if you dont mind me asking.
