Total Posts: 2486 | Cool, we recently got a Sony A790. Very nice piece of hardware, it also has a sick screen resolution of 1920x1200. We got it for my mom's portable photo editing stuff when she goes on trips and stuff. Congrats on your toys guys.

Total Posts: 958 | yeah, 19210x1200 is a really nice resolution. The wide screen format is pretty nice too. It's not quite as good for games though. I was running Battlefield 2 at 1400xsomething with all medium settings and it was working pretty good so I'm pretty happy.
I'm going to berkeley. Go Bears! |

Total Posts: 939 | re widescreen and games, well my laptop has a 16:10 1280x800 screen, and any decently coded game supports that resoultion. It's crap games that have a list of resolutions coded into them that suck (ones that don't as directx for a list). |

Total Posts: 958 | well 1920x1200 is bad for games because it's not displaying at native resolution (mayb SLI gfx cards could do it), which for LCD's, since each pixel is a color. So if i don't play games at 1920 (virtually impossible), then it's not as sharp.
Down with stanford. |

Total Posts: 939 | yeah i know... people keep telling me to lower my res to get better frame rate but it's too fugly since 1280x800 is the only 16:10 resolution it supports... |
