    Hey peeps, I'm probably going to purchase one of these soon but I'm having trouble deciding whether to get a 1920x1200 screen or 1680x1050 screen

    The reason I'm hesitating to go with the ladder is because if I use windows at full res, there's a chance it might hurt my eyes from scrutinizing it all the time. If I do lower the resolution, it will look unnatural since it's an LCD screen (when you're not using native res).

    Can anyone help me with this? Thanks :)

    Personally, I prefer 1680x1050. However, if you do get the 1920, you can increase the DPI to make things more readable.

    I've increased the DPI which increases the text on the WUXGA screen and on line i just increase the font size, zoom in once and leave it like that (Firefox 3) and everything is perfect.
