    Sooo,
    Just wondering, how many people run their hel80 at 1680x1050 normally?
    I love my high rez screen and run at it all the time, except for when I'm gaming and need some framerate.
    Anywho, I'm looking at the newer laptops and seeing alot of them dont have WSXGA+. Do the Ifl90's just not support that rez? I guess I could always hook external, but I love showing off all my screen space on a 15.4" haha.

    Anyways, Adios
    -James

    I do the same as you and run mine native all the time, except for when I'm trying to get a higher framerate in a game. 1920x1200 is a little small for my tastes in a 15.4", but 1680x1050 is just perfect.

    I have the WSXGA+ 1680X1050 and the native res is real crisp. But I did find it a bit too small for my eyes so I run it at 1280X800 which seems to be my comfort zone. Gaming does very well at this res as well.
    I know I'm not taking full advantage of the WSXGA+ but it still looks great and love the matte surface.
