1. Using anything, but the native resolution on an LCD monitor will give you a less than perfect experience. If you cannot see the smaller fonts on that UXGA screen than its time to find another system, and screen such as the XGA screen if possible. Your eyes are not able to see the smaller fonts and its not the systems fault, but your eyes, and now you have to adjust by purchasing a new system or get some glasses to help.
2. The other problems you are having could be the monitor itself or perhaps a driver issue. You can try a different video driver to see if this helps. If not and no adjustments will correct the screen, call Dell and send the system back before the 21 days return policy expires. The below link tells you about LCD monitors, and the screen resolutions....Go to a computer store, and look at some of the notebook screens to see which ones you can see well, and which ones you cannot, and record the resolution that screen is using, and try to match it with another Dell notebook. The XGA screen will have a larger fonts than the UXGA screen that you have now.
my eyes are good and I need a high resolution. It's not my first laptop and not my first LCD I'm running on WUXGA-Resolution. The problem is NOT the size of the font. I don't want another laptop because I buyed this one. It is a defect of that laptop and I will send it back. I have asked here a normal question because I hoped, to get useful hints (like update your BIOS etc). But when I get answers like: "buy glasses" or "buy another laptop" ...argh... it's everything else but not helpful. The first answer I get on this thread was ok and I will do so because it seems to be not fixable .
