For anyone considering screen resolution to order,
When I had ordered my Sony VAIO I had made the mistake of specifying XGA resolution (15" screen) due to the tiny text seen at the higher resolutions.
A need to have two or more applications in view caused me to order the Dell D800 with a maximum WUXGA display.
System specs; Latitude D800_A12 Dothan 755 centrino2GHz WUXGA Go5650 1.5GB PC2700 RAM 60D54 Bluetooth
It was a pleasant surprise to see that the 1920x1200 screen would also present lower resolutions
without the distortions common to LCD screens, not at ‘native’ res..
Below you will see two photos of the same applications at WUXGA as well as at WXGA (two of nine default resolutions offered).
Firefox now offers such excellent text sizing control that I now rarely go below WUXGA (and when I do, it is usually WSXGA)
but these photos represent what is seen at a very low resolution.
I had tried ‘Ptnt.Scrn’ to do this but it would just make a half-size (409vs853Kb) image for the WXGA.
To keep the relativity of the two images as equal as possible, I used a handheld K/M DiMAGE Z10 3.2mp
on ‘Auto’ to create two (1,412vs1,434Kb) images and used ‘Polariod PhotoMAX 4’ to size them down to 682Kb & 696Kb for posting size.
These are only meant to illustrate the relative difference between the two resolutions
and you will just have to believe that the actual color and clarity (not to mention the shape)
of the screen is far superior to what can be seen by this cheap camera
with an operator who does not even know what “White-Balance” refers to.
The point to be taken from this is that (at least this) WUXGA (1920x1200) is capable of operating
at VGA or XGA etc. while presenting a superior view than a VAIO XGA did.
If you right-click cursor on a photo and select "View Image" it will open in a viewer that will allow (by left-click on pix) +/- size.

at the lower right of the above photo, you can see the "Taskbar Magnifier" from MS Power Tools (which follows the cursor)
Same applications @ WXGA (1280x800)
