Inspiron 9100 WUXGA questions

Thread Starter 
I just ordered an Inspiron 9100 with the WUXGA LCD and had a some questions:

1) When you back the screen resolution off of its native 1920 X 1200 setting, does the video quality suffer?

2) How is it reading text at the native resolution and at other resolutions?

3) I heard that there is a problem with the 1680 X 1050 resolution. What is the problem exactly and does it only occur with the WUXGA?

4) Would the WSXGA+ be better for reading text?

Well Beleive it or not I have returned 2 laptops WUXGA 9100s for dead pixels and after much consideration and extensive research I decided to downgrade to a WSXGA. The WUXGA is a superb screen but in my opinion even after the dpi settings change and making your fonts larger some text on websites that have font sizes locked is just tooo small like cnn.com for an example. Also the fonts in XP never looked right ever sinced I messed with the DPI settings. So I definitely would say WSXGA is better for text. It also seemed that the majority of gurus out there think that WSXGA(samsung) is better for gaming. I think WSXGA is a happy medium just prey for a Samsung screen and if it doesnt come be ready to throw down with them until they send ya 1.

I have no problem reading my wuxga screen.

All LCDs need to do bilinear or bicubic scaling of images to zoom it up to the proper image size for the LCD - so yes, it is a little fuzzy. I dont really mind it at all... some people do

I love my wuxga. I'm not gonna change the resolution from tops even for games. the 1920 x 1200 was one of the main reasons I got the XPS, over Alienware or Voodoo.
