    Hey everyone,

    I have both the Vaio SA3 and the new Vaio SVS13A.

    When I go on Screenresolution.org, I achieve 1600x900 resolution on my old SA3 but never on my new SVS even though both are indeed set to 1600x900...

    My new Vaio SVS achieves resolutions of 1564x841, which is really odd.

    I do not have any idea what is going on and how I can get my 1600x900 when it is indeed at 1600x900...

    Thanks in advance!

    Have you set windows to show everything at 125%? Or maybe you are zoomed in in the browser itself?
    Dunno if this could have an effect there.

    what i don't understand is why you're asking a website to show your monitor's resolution, when you can right-click on the desktop and select Screen Resolution.
