    For a clevo notebook, what is the difference between the displays:
    17" WSXGA+ (1680x1050) w/ Super Clear Glossy Surface
    17" WUXGA (1920x1200) w/ Super Clear Glossy Surface
    17" WXGA (1440x900) w/ Super Clear Glossy Surface

    I'll be doing alot with video, and some gaming. What are the differences between the types? Is it mostly what your using it for? Thanks alot.

    Get the 1440X900 resolution for gaming. You'll run native with much better results. Aside from that, it's just personal preference. Some people appreciate the higher resolutions while others complain it makes everything on the desktop look too small.

    Yep. It's just like the difference between the S/Z96J, if you're familiar with the series.

    The quality should be as good as another, but the higher resolution will hurt FPS in games if you run native resolution.
