anyone have a pic of a laptop with a 1920x1200 15.4" widescreen?

I'm curious as to what it would look like. If you have a desktop screenshot or a photo of a laptop with a 1920x1200 screen, please post a link. I'm interested to see how small the stuff really is.

A screenshot will unfortunately not help all that much, as one cannot extrapolate how the display projects that particular screen image in its own dimensions; in other words, 1920x1200 (which is most likely the correct resolution to which you are referring) appears differently on displays of differing sizes.

In order to infer what you are seeking, one would require a well taken photograph, most likely. Better yet, visit an electronics retailer or reseller. Most of the larger entities should have a machine (most likely, one of the Vaios) with a WUXGA display, though it will most likely be of the 17" variety (you did not specify which size display, only the resolution).

Well I have a 1920x1200 screen but my icons and fonts are increased to what it would normally look on an wxga screen (maybe a little smaller but not appreciably), so a screenshot of that would serve no purpose. The beauty is in being able to put two side by side pdf or word documents and actaully be able to read it clearly.

ah yes, 1920 instead of 1900, thanks for catching that. I updated the original post to reflect that.

I think you're right, a photograph would serve my interests the best.

oh, and I'm looking at the 15.4" screens. There's a laptop from Hypersonic that I kind of like, but it's only available with a 1920x1200 15.4" screen, and I don't know if that'd be too small for me to read. I wear glasses and have my 21" CRT set to 1280x1024, which is quite comfortable for my eyes.

Based on the screen size, believe the model of Hypersonic machine you are considering is the CQ6 (only model utilizing the a 15.4" display). If such is the case, you might instead consider the NP3790, which is precisely the same machine (both use Clevo as their ODM, model M375EW) and offers a choice of alternate resolutions: WXGA(1280x800), WSXGA+(1680x1050), and the aforementioned WUXGA(1920x1200).

Judging by the specifications you list above concerning your CRT, I would strongly suggest considering at most the WSXGA+ display, and possibly even the WXGA; the WSXGA+ would most likely be a happy medium, however.

awesome, thanks! I think a WXGA will be just right, but I'll have to check out the WSXGA screens too. I just want it to have a really, really good looking screen. I saw an HP Pavilion 15.4" screen in person at Staples, which I really like, but I checked out HP's website and they don't have a great choice of graphics cards. The viewing angle was fantastic and the screen was very colorful. I also checked out the Brightview and Xbright laptops at Circuit City, but those screens are a bit too reflective for my tastes.

Another laptop I've been looking at is the GPN-A64B from GamePC, based on the Uniwill 258ka0 model.

Edit: 3790 wsxga wuxga side-by-side pics

I think I'd go with the WSXGA. thanks for the insights, ActuaryTm!

More pics of WSXGA on the 3790.

Welcome. Good luck with your purchase, regardless of which machine it may be.
