    Hi, I'm thinking of buying a refurbished ZX5000, 3.0 GHz, 1GB memory, 128 Radeon, UXGA. I'm wondering if others have this model and how the display looks with UXGA on. Sorry if this has been discussed already but I did a search and didn't find anything. I wouldn't use UXGA often, but it will have it's purposes for me. Screen size is 15.4"
    Thanks in advance,
    Ken

    Please keep in mind, if you use a laptop at a resolution other than the one it is made for, it will not look good. The are not like a CRT screens. Some of the text at UXGA+, is going to be small. If you can get a look at one before buying, I'd recommend it. Also, a lot of refurbished notebooks come with short warranties. They have higher failure rates than than new ones. Good Luck.
