    Once more this problem.

    What I should choose? WXGA+ (1440x900) or WUXGA with TrueLife (1920x1200).
    I can afford only for 128MB DDR ATI Mobility RADEONTM X300.
    I'm going to use my Inspirion for CAD and SOHO apllications.

    Will be X300 good for 1920x1200?

    Dell writes that mx resolution is 1600x1200.

    Can You help me?

    Widescreens arent great for CAD.
    There still is some pixel distortion.

    duxwig: what do you mean by pixel distortion in CAD Im looking into a 9300 and I mainly rund CAD software. Also what are the disadvantages to having this distortion in CAD.
