    For the 1720/1721 I haven't seen a lot of people who have gotten this option...any word on how this looks?

    Thanks,

    Andy

    Nice nice...

    But for screen space, could I have two Firefox windows open at the same time running side by side and have ample width on both the windows?

    I ordered the 1920x1200. I'll let you know how it looks when I get it some time in August :(. I have a 21" CRT for my desktop and I've tested using 1920x1440 on it and boy was the text small. The width of a 3:2 21" is about the same as a 17" widescreen. I hope the 1720 screen is crisp.

    I have this Res. on my 1705. Text is very small. It's nice to see two word documents side by side though.

    Sweet, I love having a lot of screen space and I have good vision, small text not a problem.
