    What's the UltraSharp(TM) technology? I encountered it on the Dell 1520. Between the (non-UltraSharp) WXGA+ and the UltraSharp WSXGA+, apart from the obvious difference in resolution, is there a difference is actual LCD quality?

    I see there are a few other threads on this topic, but I'm not really an expert - I can't make anything out of them. Really sorry, but can anybody explain this issue to me in simple language? All I'm interested in is the question I've asked above. I don't need technical details.

    I believe it means it's glossy for notebooks.

    For Dell's desktop LCD, UltraSharp means it uses a higher quality LCD panel, a TN Panel instead of a 6-bit panel.

    UltraSharp also means that the monitor has a lower response time, and a higher resolution I think. If that's the case, I highly recommend it.
