Concerning your WSXGA+/WUXGA question, see the following fresh threads

I could post a screenshot with Visual Studio.NET 2003, but it would look bare (I've not used it so far; only needed for Intel's Fortran). Hopefully other users will chime in.

V.B. was kind enough to post a screenshot of WUXGA with Visual Studio in

http://notebookforums.com/357248

To see true sizes of fonts, you may print this screenshot, as explained in

http://notebookforums.com/showthread...869#post354869

Unfortunately V.B. is using 120 DPI, so in fact his fonts looked bigger by about 9% than on WSXGA+ at 96 DPI.


AxiomofIllusion:

Could you post a screenshot of your screen (to illustrate your VS setup for pugnj) in the following thread

(Just hit the Prnt Scrn key, open Paint, press Ctrl-V to paste the image, save as PNG, and attach to your post.)

Hmm, well, my widescreen 22-inch flat panel monitor on my apple G5 is the same resolution as WUXGA, and text can seem pretty small on it. and it's uh, 22 inches.

kdynamic:

Are you talking about a 22.2" 16:10 aspect ratio WUXGA 1920x1200 screen? If yes, this screen has 102 PPI (pixels per inch). This is close to 15.4" WXGA with 98 PPI, whereas for 15.4", WSXGA+ has 129 PPI, and WUXGA has 147 PPI.

So, unless Apple's OS employs fonts much smaller than those in WinXP, or your eyes are poor, I don't know what you are talking about.

well, i don't know what I'm talking about either!
I didn't buy the 22 incher i mentioned (it's at the office) so I don't know actually. I was just looking at all those pixels and trying to imagine compressing it into the area of a 15.4 and it seemed like a lot. No, my eyes aren't bad. Things don't seem small on that display. I mean, they seem like, on the small side and if they got smaller (like, say, by being on 15.4) then they'd be really really small....

I am so confused by DPI vs resolution. any help? How can you adjust the dpi and maintain the same resolution??
