The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I wasn't calling you a liar, only pointing out that it's not a good way of showing your problem

    The reason why your results on anything but 1920x1200 suck -- it all relates to the Nyquist-Shannon Theorem. When you scale the resolution down, your LCD is essentially sampling a lower-bandwidth signal.

    Nyquist's theorem states that the sample bandwidth must be at least twice that of the bandwidth of the signal, or else aliasing will result.

    A resolution that should work very well would be 960x600, which corresponds to the theoretical Nyquist rate, and should not give you aliasing. 4 pixels (2 x 2) on the WUXGA screen will correspond to 1 pixel.

    Anything else, essentially, is bound to look like garbage with aliasing.
