Thread Starter 
I was trying to decide which screen to get WSXGA or WUXGA on a CX7. It will be used for mostly gaming and internet (with a little office work also) (will the high res WUXGA slow down games alot). I also see the response time is high on these laptop screens and was wondering if I will miss my 8ms 17" LCD?

Hi again Splurch, I went with the 1680 x 1050 on my CX7 and I couldn't be happier with the choice. It is bright, very vivid and performs great with the games I play (all the latest FPS) at native resolution. I get 110-130 frames per second average in counter-strike: source even in a firefight on Office which is heavy for physics as maps go with stuff flying everywhere. Worst case I have ever seen is 80 frames per second while I was scanning for spyware in the background. Good luck on your purchase.

I had originally gone with the WSXGA, but due to some dead pixel issues and availability of screens, I had them change it out for the WUXGA. In both cases, I would have changed the resolution anyways as the smaller resolution just doesn't do anything for my eyesight.

I believe both of these will be great for you, but you may find the WSXGA a bit more comfortable.

Good luck.

Does the WUXGA make games look any better?

Then I could call myself and give myself reasons for delaying delivery of the system to myself for a couple months . . .
