    And it's the highest density screen Apple has ever produced at 133 dpi. I love high rez screens and was seriously considering getting this one - particularly since Apple's 17" is as small as others' 15 inchers.

    But I found the 1920 resolution just too high - I think this designed for resolution-independent displays like Leopard will offer.

    Go for it. I have one and it is awesome! everything is sharp and clear. If you read text ALL day long, just bump the text size up a little.
