>From personal experience, that's a very noticeable difference. My "work" machine is 1920x1200 - the "home" machine is 1600x900. Both are 17" displays (a Compaq 8710w and an HP DV7T), but the extra 10% of height on the Compaq (1920 x 1200, not 1920 x 1080) seems to make a really big difference (and the extra 20% pixel count doesn't hurt). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
