Anyone play with their DPI settings?

I don't have a Win 7 install yet but soon...

In this day in age (especially considering that the last generation CRT's allowed us to change resolution) it's so limiting that we have to choose our laptops partly based on its native resolution. Now I know Vista (maybe even XP?) has the ability to change the dpi, but in my experience the result was "OK". The text was bigger and still crisp, however the icons became very pixelated. To me it felt like it wasn't quite there yet.

So I did a quick search on Win 7 dpi and found some encouraging screen shots: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20081029/windows-7-dpi-scaling-my-7-is-bigger-than-your-7/

Is Windows 7 the end of having to worry about getting too high of a resolution in a laptop? Have any of you played around with these settings and what were your results? I really miss the CRT days when you actually had choices with your resolution.

 

The only problem you may come across is older apps which require 96dpi, and mess up if its something else. But those should be pretty rare these days.

For me, if anything I'd want a bit lower dpi, not higher.
