    I'm debating on whether to get WSXGA+ or WXGA on my 15.4. Honestly, the WXGA I have right now seems like perfect size on my screen, but the thought of higher resolution is just so appealing to me. I'm really worried about eye strain. Which stores have WSXGA+ 15.4 models I can take a look at????

    I work at Best Buy part time, and as far as I know, we don't have anything over WXGA+ on any 15.4", at least at my store. It really sucks. I'd like to see more options when it comes to screen resolutions and retail locations.



    If it helps at all, I have a WSXGA+ 15.4" screen, and it's not hard to read/doesn't cause eye strain. It's quite nice, and I love having all the space.
