What do you guys who bought one think of the screen ? Is the native resolution crisp and clear ?

So what is the res of the screen? So much fuss is made of the actual screen size yet nothing about the actual resolution which is far more important in my opinion. I have a 14.1" screen on my IBM Thinkpad and that runs at 1400x1050(?) whereas I've seen lesser IBM models run at 1024x768 and I could not use those.

1280xsomethingodd (can't remember widescreen resolutions!) I think.

My work dell is 1600x1200 - you need a magnifying glass! My eyes started to wear out so I dropped the resolution and missed the screen space. So I got a seperate TFT (and Acer, ironically) and run 2 screens. Bliss!

I know you did nej - I wasn't referring to thanking me, I didn't do anything, it was the original poster I was talking about.

1280x800 is the resolution that these screens run at .
