    1280x800 or 1440x900? pros, cons any recommendations for a 15.4 inch m1530 xps. Is the 1440x900 worth the extra $50

    I can highly reccomend the 1440x900 screen, it's a great panel, and it gives tons of "realestate" without the text being too small. If your graphic card struggles to play new games at 1440x900, put it on a lower resolution with 2x or 4x AA (As much as framerates allow)

    I agree, realestate, infact more would be even better (if your eyes are good) so yes go for it scroll less.
