    I've tried increasing the DPI and Icon size but still it's not good enough, the Font is super small, the small icons at the bottom right I can hardly see them clearly, is there any solution for this?, maybe some kind of a theme (I am using Windows XP x64) ?, or Vista solve this problem better ?, please your comments, thanks a lot

    I thought much the same when I first fired up my uxga Inspiron, I wouldnt be without it now and am looking forward to ordering a wuxga m6400 RGBLED.

    However the easiest option is to use the display properties to reduce the screen resolution - assuming the display isn't smart and reduce the display to the new size with black borders. I read somewhere the display will correctly display 4.3 format in crop format leaving black borders to the left and right.
    Anyway try dropping it to 1440x900 and see what happens

    I got WUXGA on a 15,4" and having no problem. I did check out another screen this size + resolution before ordering it to see if i could handle it though. I think it's a bit small but i don't even have the fonts enlarged in Vista. I would never have bought it without seeing it first though, bit of a gamble there
