    Is there a way to change the aspect ratio of the boot screen? As in, instead of making the "DELL" logo and the OS Boot Screen full-screened (and fuzzy), could it be set so that it is smaller and centred (and crisp)?

    I've seen some VAIO notebooks that have done this, and am wondering if it can be done through a BIOS or graphics card setting.

    Some machine BIOS' have this as a feature which you can turn on/off. If your's doesn't, you're SOL.

    Personally I don't see the point of being concerned with this since your OS isn't affected by this setting.
