    I'm thinking about getting an dv1000 but was looking at one the other day and noticed that the letters in a word processing program were stretched out compared to those viewed on a regular, non-widescreen laptop. Is there a setting to adjust the graphics so letters look normal sized or does the widescreen always stretch stuff out?
    Thanks for your advice.

    You should have looked at the resolution setting. It probably was changed by some customer who took it out of non-native resolution (i.e. changed from WXGA to 800x600 or something).
