I've done some reading back through the threads and most people seem to have gone with the WSXGA and say that they think its best. Does anyone have the WUXGA screen and can they comment on it? I am going to be doing a lot of graphic editing (laying out figures for scientific publications) and love to have images of what I'm writing about open right next to the word window. So I think I can use the WUXGA screen space, but I'm just a tad worried about the small font size for e.g. web browsing.
I've tried to find WSXGA and WUXGA screens to look at around here, but everything I can find is just WXGA, which is not helpful.
Anyway, I'd appreciate comments, in particular from those who have a WUXGA screen, what you like and what you don't.

Here's a screenshot of my desktop with a Microsoft Word Window and Picture and Fax viewer open side by side.

That's at the 1680x1050 resolution of the WSXGA+ Screen.

i have WUXGA, and to be honest, I regret it a bit. WSXGA would have probably been better, but WUXGA rocks for gaming and writing papers with having a word document on the right and an internet window on the left.

You will have better battery like with a lower resolution, less physical pixels for the gpu to think about.

I like my wxga resolution best on the my D820. If I want more, I'll just use an external monitor .

I have a 15.4" WUXGA, and apart from some web sites, IE and a few other programs (that I don't use), it is great. Nothing beats high density screens for clarity, once the software is set up for the hardware. Text and fine lines/CAD and the like are fantastic. Wonderful for photography. The wide screen gives options for lots of information in their own spaces/programs.
