rangelco,

I don't know who informed you that you should be running such an extreme resolution. In normal use, a resolution of 1,024x768 is standard for a 17-inch monitor on a desktop system. A higher resolution might be appropriate for (1) viewing extremely large spreadsheets or graphics or (2) use with a monitor of 21 inches or greater.

You should run a resolution which is comfortable for your use, not one which someone else prescribes and which causes you to have to fine-tune applications to use them.

Hi thanks for your answear, I just forgot to mention that I have a laptop (an inspiron 5000) with a 15" display and SXGA+ resolution.

As I said somebody told me about the pixel ratio or whatever it is, that I should keep it with 1400*1050, with that resolution it really looks great I mean the internet, word, but the problem is that the icons are too small and I don't like it.

Anyway I have another question... the quality of a picture, say a very sofisticated one with a high definition would look better with 1400*1050 or it will be the same with lower definitions like 1024*768?

Thanks for your help. BTY this web pages are very useful.
