Dealing with 1400x1050 14.1" screen ?

How reasonable is such huge resolution on 14.1" screen ?
I'm contemplating acquiring T43 14.1" featured by 1400x1050 screen, but this sounds to be scary when comes to text reading, surfing, Office work and similar math and text-related stuff.
I run my desktop 19" monitor (I guess roughly 18" viewable size) at 1280x1024 which I find comfortable text-wise, so trting to imagine 1400x1050 on just 14.1" one sounds scary...
Am I wrong ? How do you, owners of 1400x1050 screens on 14.1" machines deal with text and similar stuff ? Is it manageable without putting to much strain on average eyes ? (albeit I'm in glasses)

Thanks.

TFTs are incredibly more sharp than any CRT. CRTs often lose sharpness over time and become blurry, specially with big monitors. Any small text that is hard to read on a CRT is likely to be due to the blurryness and not due to its size.

The truth is that, unless you have visual problems, you will notice the text being small but not really difficult to read. It's just a matter of personal preference.

However, yes, it will impose more eye strain. So, if you are uncomfortable with that, you can always buy a standard XGA screen.

If you have issues with TEXT size, just up the DPI setting in windows. (Under Advanced in Display Settings)

NEVER change from the native resolution of a TFT. It's just plain ugly.

I would personally always prefer the sxga+ screen before the xga. But if you have bad vision then xga is the better option. If you have normal vision, the sxga+ is still very clear and legible.

i have had a t40p for a while now and my resolution is always set at 1400x1050.
i wish it could go to 1600x1200. everything on the screen looks find when i look at the 1024x768 to me everything is just to large but thats my opinion.
