XGA vs. SXGA+ for a 1505?

Since I don't game or watch movies (99% web, email, powerpoint, word, maybe a few digital pictures), I was trying to decide which resolution would work better for the 1505 for me. I thought the XGA would be better for reading web pages, but then I read that the new IE 7 will have a zoom function for text, and I know that Firefox already does that pretty well. Would you guys go with the SXGA+ and use the zoom function?

web- i like my wSxga (more tabs)
email- either
powerpoint- either
word- either
pics-Sxga

winner for me is Sxga, but for you i say get the xga, and if you dont like it, you can return it! or better yet, start with the Sxga, and if you dont like it, return it.

the reason i said get the xga over the Sxga, is because the Sxga isnt offered without TL (shiny stuff makes web/email/word) a little harder to see IMO.

i think you will love the Sxga, but again, true life gloss will mess with what you want to do.

if i had to choose between getting a display with the Sxga resolution and truelife, and getting an xga without, id go Sxga

Thanks Chevy. I think I actually like the TrueLife. I'm tired of the silk-screen panty hose effect. I really find myself drawn to even simple web pages at the Dell kiosk on the TrueLife screens. I'm pretty sure I'm going with the SXGA+ screen. Just seems like too much scrolling on the XGA.

I just changed my E1505 order to the wxga with truelife. I really don't want a high-res screen, can't see crap lol.

Hmm, I think I'm going to do the same. I'm 34 and my eyes are having a harder time with reading, I think I'll go for the XGA with TrueLife.
