WUXGA Display ?

I believe that the WUXGA screen is the best one that you can currently get for your laptop.  I currently have an 8500 with the WUXGA screen and soon I am going to be getting an 8600 with the WUXGA screen.  Everything looks nice and sharp in this screen.  I like the fact that it makes running apps side by side better, since you have so much screen real estate with this screen.  I wear glasses, btw, and find the screen to be great.

Run for WUXGA.....Always you have the change to return it....but you will love it...

even though text is very small, you can configure windows settings so that you can increase the default text size.. and other things as well..

however, it all comes down to preference.. some people are comfortable with looking at small text, others prefer that it be larger.. a good idea to see if the wuxga screen is right for you, is to head over to your local computer store and check one of those screens out.. you'll be amazed at how beautiful everything looks.. however, make sure that you are comfortable with the way things look.

those 2 things would look beautiful on that screen.. no need to worry about that!!!

i personally have the wsxga screen and i wear glasses.. however, i don't wear them when i use the computer.. i find that i can see my screen perfectly at the normal distance with default windows settings.. nothing is really too small that i can't read it.. i find that it's just a good overall size..

i guess that it all depends on how bad your eyesight is.. i would still suggest that you check out your local computer store to get a feel of how the wuxga screen looks like.

Thank you

 

I hope that I m going to be happy with the WUXGA Display , I dont have good eyes  but still I think I m going to Order the WUXGA .

 

How is the DVD Watching on WUXGA is it really fantastic ?

Is the WUXGA good to work on Photoshop , to edit photos ?

 

Thanks

OMG! watching DVDs on the WUXGA is niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......... I was watching the lion king on dvd... the picture was soo clear and crisp. I rented alot of widescreen movies cause of my laptop...

I agree with the rest of this group. It boils down to your own preferences. You should go to your local BestBuy or Circut City and look first...then make the choice for yourself. I really like my i8600 with the WUXGA Sharp LCD and glad I ordered it over the WSXGA. I  wear contacts most of the time and use reading glasses to work with the 8600 in Photoshop and using it to map out routes for a Search and Rescue team that I belong to. DVD's also look fantastic!  My 2 cents..

Good luck in any direction you go!

 

Although it really does come down to personal preference, I think the appropriateness of screen resolution, specifically the WUXGA vs WSXGA+, depends upon your use of the notebook PC.  Concensus is certainly that the WUXGA is gorgous in displaying graphics and photo images; it's extremely sharp.  However, there are a multitude of text-heavy environments that will not accommodate text or font enlargement settings for all features, and within WUXGA can be quite small to read.  Many i8600 owners/users who devote an abundance of time using their notebook PCs for text-based activities, such as email and MS WORD composition of documents and letters, have posted their preference for the larger text, font, icon, symbol sizes provided by WSXGA+.  But note that the graphics and photo images displayed on the WSXGA+ are also very, very sharp and clear.

You just have to weigh the cost difference in relation to the appropriateness of the resolution feature to your predominant computing tasks.  If you're a heavy "gamer" or dvd-watcher for which your i8600 is mostly used, probably go with the WUXGA.  If you are an "office-applications" user for which your i8600 will mostly be used, probably go with the WSXGA+.  To whatever extent digital photography and video editing come into the mix of your usage, either resolution will be fine (because so much of the displayed image quality will be contingent upon the origin resolution as determined by both the hardware limits and user settings of the camera/camcorder).

just wanted to add in that the sxga screen is very nice as well.. i have it on my 8500 and everything is really crisp and perfect. games and dvd movies look great on it as well... but one thing that i really like about the uxga screen is that it has that kind of gloss finish which makes everything kind of stand out.. really sweet.. just depends on your overall preference.

Thank you

I think that the WUXGA will be good , even my eyes are so bad !
