QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jan 8 2014, 11:53 AM) *1366x768 lol my bad... but idk this figure 1366x768 will haunt us for how long time... even my mba 11 is 1366x768 lol...The problem now is that even if you don't want touchscreen you still have to get one since you don't have a choice  Just look at the XPS15, and the Lenovo Ideapads   |

HD resolution is okay la for anything smaller than 14"  However, HD+ and especially FullHD should be more prevalent in larger notebooks now. Particular so when they manage to fit FullHD and 2560x1600 in something as small as a 10" tablet and selling it!  |

We need to manually adjust the screen font and titles in order for it to be readable... browser size, photoshop.... all is weird... no matter how you adjust it, the size is still weird... in fact i think 1600x900 is better resolution if this problem is not fixed.Eyes painful yo And kept on miss-pressing icons and till now i think the problem is not fixed... very annoying.. macs do not have this problem... |

QUOTE(marine88 @ Jan 8 2014, 02:50 PM) That means MSI Laptop Full HD 1920 x 1080 is bad ? It does not mean that in any way. Windows unfortunately scales the DPI to 125% out of the box when confronted with HD settings, I normally dial it back to 100% to make it sharper. Smaller? Definately, but looks nice enough. Macs scaling is different. The text may still be 10pts in size but because there are more pixels images look sharper. Does not stop problems such as low quality images spoiling things however. |
