"UXGA" a name for a screen resolution, not a brand name...just in case there
was any confusion. :-)
CGA => 320x200
VGA => 640x480
SVGA => 800x600
XGA => 1024x768
SXGA => 1400x1050
UXGA => 1600x1200
I just noticed that Dell is beginning to sell UXGA notebooks. I wonder how
easy they are on the eyes -- mostly a problem of refresh rate, I think.
On a 15" viewable area display, 1600x1200 would be ~133 dpi -- probably
acceptable. (Need to go to a 20" to hit 100 dpi at 1600x1200 -- not too
likely to happen on a notebook. :-) Comparatively, a 15" viewable area at
1400x1050 is ~117 dpi.
The most readable 1024x768 display I've ever seen was, surprisingly, not
a 14" TFT and not a 15" TFT, but a 13" TFT on a Sony Vaio -- super crisp,
super rock solid refresh rate, perfect white, and almost no visible
gridlines. 13" at 1024x768 is ~98 dpi, so I'm thinking that 100 dpi
is a great target.
Question is, how smooth is the refresh on a state-of-the-art 15" TFT at
1600x1200? I saw a 14" TFT at 1400x1050 with noticable flicker. Didn't
have time to mess with the contrast knobs, unfortunately -- store was
closing.
Any good or bad experiences out there with SXGA (1400x1050) or UXGA
(1600x1200) TFT displays?
