    Will Windows 8 be able to properly handle display scaling? To get the same text size as 1600 x 900 will require 0.625 scaling.

    And the increase in the pixel count will slow down the graphics performance.

    I'll settle for a PLS version of my 15" panel with the current resolution.

    Personally I would like this to be on a 17" or 18.4" and I would use 100% scaling normally. Not most users have the eyes for this or to tolerate it for a long time though. So I do not expect this for a long time if ever but it would be the one way to convince me to upgrade again..............
