WSXGA screen

I've been asking a lot of questions about my son's new laptop having problems. Someone elsewhere told me it might be due to the "S" Screen. What is the difference between the 3 screens offered on the Inspiron 6000 laptops? 15.4" screen

Cyndi---I seem to recall you said you and your son first saw the 6000 at
a Dell kiosk. Why not go back there to see what display that computer
has, and what the settings were.

Mine is the basic screen, not the "S" or "U" version. It's set to
1280x768 at 32 bit colors. The DPI is set to large size...120 dpi. My
font size is normal. Yes, the print is small, but I can see it OK...and
I'm 54. So my eyes ain't what they used to be and they were never that
great to begin with!!!

Graphics are fine with those settings...no blurriness or stretching...

great idea, Tom. Thanks.............his graphics are only off in IE, not in Netscape nor on his desktop or anywhere else. That;'s what I think is the strangest thing.....and yes, I know exactly where you saw that post about the kiosk <g>

I have a couple of things I want to mention. First off, there is
nothing wrong with the SXGA+ or WSXGA+ resolutions; they're both
standard resolutions offered by various manufactures albeit not as
popular as XGA or UXGA (and their wide scren variants). As others,
including myself, have mentioned in previous posts, you ought to use the
native resolutions when working with LCD's. The difference between the
three screens is the size of the pixels (affects sharpness, etc.): WXGA
having the largest (and likewise fewest) pixels per unit of measurement,
WSXGA+ being the middle, and WUXGA having the smallest (and most
pixels). I'll let google fill you in on the benefits and disadvantages
of the various resolutions; generally more is better if you can deal
with thing looking smaller (this is where a larger screen helps).

On a side note, what is your son doing that requires IE? Given the
choice, there's virtually no reason to use IE over alternatives (but
tons of reasons to use alternatives over IE). Also, I wanted to let you
know all your posts are formatted oddly (I can't quote them). They
appear as one giant string with no line breaks. I was looking at you
headers and it appears you're using Outlook Express and have
Content-Transfer-Encoding set to "quoted-printable"; since I don't use
OE, I don't know how to fix it. Others, like User N or Tom Scales use
OE and their posts look fine, so perhaps they can help.

Quoted-Printable is an HTML setting for MIME.

Thanks for the explanation. My son is sticking with IE because the websites he designs are compatible with IE.

Cyndi,
Perhaps it would benefit your son if he designed the web sites to be
compatible with both. FireFox is becoming rather popular.

Except for missing my iespell program, I haven't looked back since switching
to Firefox.

Thanks, I don't think I've ever heard anything bad about Firefox, think I'll have to try it myself, too.
