)600 resolution problems

Hi there!

I have a display problem since I get my notebook. At the configuration the resolution was set to the highest as possible (1920 x 1200) and it wasn't possible to read the fonts because they were not sharp enough. So after the windows configuration I set the resolution lower to 1440 x 900 and the font DPI-size to 140DPI. Now i could read the font but this resolution is too low for working. My friend has the same Notebook and he's display is very sharp, also on the highest resolution! Iv'e downloaded the newest driver for my Nvidia 6800GO videocard from Dell, but there isn't a different to the old one.

Is my Display corrupt or did someone have the same problem? small images are pixeled,too.

thanx for your help and sorry for my bad english ;-).

    I suspect that your friend has a lower resolution screen than yourself.

    In order for your LCD to display its best, you must use its native resolution (in your case 1920 x 1200), set your DPI to 96 and enable ClearType.

    There's all correct and the fonts are clear. But in Windows i can't see anything with a resolution of 1920 x 1200.
    :(

    when I set the resolution to 1920x1200 i can't read anything, also with 96DPI and cleartype. it's very pixeled and on a white background i really can't read the black font. it's like in photoshop when you zoom-out to 50%, the font doesn't look clear. :( is my display corrupt?

    Run the Dell diagnostics, which will test the video. F12 at start, choose from menu.

    I'd guess you have a driver issue.
