Thinking about which resolution panel to get? Lemme just pipe in here with a few facts to throw in with all the myths and opinions people seem to have about which panel they should get and why.
First off, the wxga panel is non glossy, ultra sharp 1400x900, the wuxga is a glossy screen with 1920x1200 resolution.
NOW THEN, lemme just bring one observation to your attention if you are thinking about this huge ass wuxga resolution, its too smal to read text comfortably. If you look at ALL the other notebook manufacturers from sony to asus to hp and toshiba.........NONE OF THEM AND I MEAN NONE OF THEM, offer an lcd panel on a notebook with a resolution of 1920x1200, check it out for yourself and for good reason, its overkill and too much resolution for a panel that is only 17 inches, hell i havent seen a widescreen or say a 21 or 23 or 30 inch lcd panel that offers anything higher than 1600x1200. Wuxga is a just a case of people thinking that more must be better, well it is and it isnt. At the display with doom3 running it may seem great but when your doing your school paper or a work project, those high res pixels produce very very small text and often require you to use the lcd panel at non native resolutions for a comfy working environment. People also seem to think its great for the internet too well there are no web sites that support wuxga resolution and though some say hey, i can have web pages up side by side wiht a wuxga, i'll take one page that i can read over two that are to small to read comfortably anyday. IN fact if you go to a dell kiosk in a mall somwhere guess what? those wuxga panels are being displayed at 1400x900 and you cant adjust them as dell has these systems fixed where you cant even look at the settings. the wuxga glossy panels also show every background light and your reflection in the screen, some people like this, im not one of them, to each his own, if you use 1024x768 or perhaps a 1200xsomething or other on your desktop at home now, I would recommend you stay with the wxga+ at 1400x900. It is more then enough pixels for a 17 inch widescreen lcd and you will get full web pages with room to spare on it. ALso people say well wuxga is soo much better for games, well, not entirely, sure it looks a bit pretty until your at the office or a classroom and see your reflection all day, but also the higher res panel has A WHOLE LOT MORE PIXELS FOR YOUR VIDEO CARD TO RENDER< this means more work for the video card, just to render the mega amount of extra pixels, this probably means in most cases you wont be playing your games with all the eye candy on like AA and soo forth where as with a wxga panel you can play them with all the eye candy so I scratch my head at those folks who swear by wuxga for gaming.

 

Tis a matter of opinion. I originally got the 9300 with WXGA+ screen (1440x900) and it was ok. Then I returned it and got the XPS M170. I thought the text was gonna be too small, but it's actually not that bad. Of course everyone's eyesight and size comfort are different, so not everyone would like it. On the plus side, you can increase the DPI, the font, and the icon sizes as well. I prefer this screen not for gaming but because I need more workspace. I like having multiple windows open on the same screen. I do a lot of modding for Project Reality (BF2 mod) and it's awesome having multiple windows open for comparison and what not, as well as having a few other windows open on a secondary screen.

Again, it's all a matter of opinion. You think WUXGA is bad on a 17", well that screen is also an option for the I6000. Now that's small.

 

Screen resolution is a personal preference, you might not be able to read comfortably, but a lot of other people are perfectly fine with it. The reason laptops can get higher res screens than larger desktop monitors is because generally the user is a lot closer to the laptop screen.

It's a no brainer that low res means it's easier of the video card for gaming, it also makes the laptop less useful for work because of the lack of desktop real estate. Whoever set up those Dell kiosk doesn't know what they're doing. They probably lose sales because people look at the screen and see it's blurry and think it's crap. Customizable screen resolution options is still fairly unique to Dell, they should really try to play that up more.

And there are several other laptops that have high resolution screens available, Sager, Dell and HP all have laptops that can be configured with WUXGA screens, even on 15.4" models! If we include UXGA, WSXGA+ and SXGA+ for smaller screens then we can add in Fujitsu, IBM, Asus, and Acer.

 

screen resolution is absolutely a personal choice.

conghelach is on some personal mission to persuade everybody that WUXGA is of the devil; almost every post is an attempt to do this.

i have WUXGA on a 15.4" widescreen and, for me, it's perfect. i could never go back to anything lower, not even WSXGA. other users, however, have different preferences.

the best thing to do is go find a shop where you can compare for yourself.

 

You couldnt be more wrong, I am simply trying to help those who have little or no experience in buying a laptop or little experience with LCD panels as there are alot of fallacies swimming around here as to what each resolution will and wont do. Those who sing the praises of the WUXGA tend to leave out little details like their age, level of eyesight etc and use vague statements such as WUXGA ROCKS blah blah blah.
When buying a laptop it is best to be informed and certainly not make purhcasing decisions based on "this screen rocks".

 

Come on now... I think that is a bit harsh... although the 1920x1200 is small at 17" it is very readable if you have near 20x20 vision... and for no LCD's supporting anything higher than 1600x1200....

all of these support 1920x1200 native:
UltraSharp 2405FPW 24"
Samsung SyncMaster 243t
ViewSonic VP231wb
Apple offers a 23" and a 30" with 2560 x 1600 pixels
sony also offers a very nice monitor...

now these aren't for everyone they would make an excellent complement to the I9300's 1920x1200 display!

 

Boy, that really is harsh.
C'mon now, its personal choice. But really, the screen will be a lot clearer. When it comes to screens-its personal choice. Brand Name discussing is helpful(in this case LG and Samsung), but when it comes to readability, you should really make that decison for your self. My thoughts...
