I have the pleasure to have two laptops. One with the SXGA+ and the other with UXGA. The SXGA+ screen is good but the not as crisp as the UXGA. I thought when I ordered the UXGA screen it was going to be hard to read but I can tell you after ten minutes, The UXGA is better screen. I know the fonts are about 90% smaller in the UXGA but they look nicer and they are easy to read. If you can pay the extra $80+ for the upgrade to UXGA, it is worth. My two cents.
