    The WUXGA Screen option on the 9100 is AU$270 more expensive than the WSXGA screen - in English, what do you get for the huge extra $$?

    You might be paying a lot more for something you don't want or would rather not have (in plain English). I find UXGA resolution to be too small and hard to read, SXGA is perfect for my tastes.

    taken from another post:
    XGA is one of the two most common screen resolutions for notebooks and desktops: 1,024 pixels horizontally by 768 vertically. Equally common is SXGA+ (1,400 by 1,050). Other resolutions are SXGA (1,280 by 1,024, used more on desktops than notebooks), and UXGA (1,600 by 1,200). The higher resolutions make for crisp graphics and small text. Widescreen displays typically use WXGA (1280 by 768), WSXGA+ (1680 by 1050), and WUXGA (1920 by 1200).
