    I am about to purchase a zx5000 and am wondering whether to get the WXGA screen with briteview for +50.00 or go all the way for 1920x1200 WUXGA without briteview for a whopping +150.00.
    I will be working (CADD) and playing DVD's and Gaming. Is having the native resolution higher going to make that noticable a difference compared to deeper color saturation and pizzaz (spelled right?)?
    Games wont run in that resolution but Autocadd will.....
    I know this is an apples and oranges question but I would love to hear some opinions on the difference.

    Thanks

    Karltopia,
    I have zx5000 with WXGA Brightview (1280x800) and I like it. My friend has a Dell 9100 with WUXGA (Wide Ultraextended Graphics Array) (1920X1200) and he has some screen problems (may be only Dell) and also as you know the higher the resolution, the smaller that icons and text appear on the screen. I have a some vision problems and don’t like the WUXGA model. Hope this info helps.
