    I've configured the HDX16t and the dv7t so many times my wish-list is about full.
    I've also read all the posts in the HDX16t and dv7t sections here on NBR.

    My question is about the monitor(s) for the HDX16t
    Which one? (1366x768) or (1920x1080p)

    Since I'm used to a Dell 17" desktop set at 1280x1024 and the HDX16t is bright how do you all like the larger option?

    Okay thanks for any guidance.

    prescott, I went with the 1920x1080. I was a bit afraid before I received it that everything would be too small to see well. And, actually, fonts at 96dpi are a bit too small for me, but by upping the dpi to 120, all is well. I really like the screen!

    I do a lot of work in Photoshop, the the more pixels, the better.

    I should also mention that on my other notebook, a Dell XPS m1530 with 1440x900 screen, working in Photoshop etc is tough as there is no enough screen real estate.
