I am thinking about getting FW390 CTO. How does regular font look like on FW390 with XBRITE-FullHD 1920x1080? If you use Word or Excel in this resolution does it look too small?
I currently use 22" with 1680x1050 resolution and font looks good to me. I cannot imagine fonts on 16" with 1920x1080 resolution.
I am about to order a Sony Vaio FW490, and I would like to know how much of a difference visually that these 2 screens are. I know that the FullHD obviously looks better, but how much better exactly? And is it worth the extra $100 or so?
I have yet to see a FullHD screen at the Best Buy near me so it is difficult for me to compare the two. I have also heard that the FullHD screen is not adequate for gaming. Is this true? I am not a hardcore gamer by any means, but I did plan on playing some of my new games like Street Fighter 4 occasionally. In addition, a 1920x1080 resolution does seem quite large for a 16.4" screen. Can anybody provide some sort of screenshot of the FullHD screen?
I was asking about the difference between XBRITE-ECO and XBRITE-FullHD. To my surprise, the rep told me the XBRITE-FullHD is LED backlit (which I think it's not true). I ask her to confirm that and she came back with the same answer.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've ordered a Sony FW-490 CTO off of the Sony Style website, after reading about the problems with the full hd screen and text size problems I began to worry if I made a mistake by getting the FULLhd rather than the eco, as I am using this computer for casual gaming, school work and occasional photoshop (learning)
If I have a problem with the FULLhd would I beable to send my Computer back and get another laptop with the same specs but the ECO screen?
My CTO is configured like this:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've heard rumors that VAIO laptops have issues with OpenGL. Doing a quick google search, I've seen some posts (Not here) that mention issues with VAIOs and opengl, though all such posts seem to only to involve Intel and nVidia graphics cards.
Could anyone please confirm whether or not OpenGL works on their FW390? It uses an HD 3650 graphics card. Presumably OpenGL compatibility would be the same for other FW models with the same card. Haven't written any OpenGL code in quite a while, but wouldn't want to be unable to play with it again due to driver issues.
If it doesn't work with OpenGL, I might have to go with the incredibly hideous, though competitively priced, ASUS G50VT-X6 instead. (Don't care that much about laptop appearance, but the thought of using the ASUS to give a talk at a conference makes me shudder)
I dont get what the differance is.
All uk Sony vaio FW's and AW's have X black.
All US sony vaio FW'S and AW's have Xbrite.
is there any differance?
Which would you choose and why?

How to change the font colors on my new hp pavilion 14-n201tu notebook laptop. I want to personalize it but I don't know how. I have been trying and can not figure it out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I am in email, and typing along, the font size displayed will change while I am typing. Â It will get really big or really small and acts like it has a mind of it's own. Â It only happens when I am typing emails, and happens in both Yahoo and Gmail.
Â
It just happened again when I am typing this question, so it appears to be if I am in the internet. Â It does not happen in a word document.
Â
Is there a way to stop this from happening? Â Am I hitting some speed-key combinations and just don't know it?
had a Dell 1735..screen resolution was perfect and webpages i visited looked nice and sharp etc...purchased a new Dell studio 1737 laptop and it seems that the default setting is 1920 x 1200..this makes everything very sharp but to small to work with...the correct setting for the correct size etc...seems to be 1440 x 900..but when i change the settings to this size everything is the correct size but not as sharp...and websites i visit such as Facebook etc..the text on these pages seems different..now, when I place my old Dell studio 1735 beside my new Dell studio 1737 my old laptop which is set at 1440 x 900..my old laptop looks far sharper and superior to my new laptop! My old 1735 has the highest setting for resolution at 1440 x 900 while the new 1737 seems to have a higher setting option of 1920 x 1200. Is there a big difference between the 1735 and 1737? Am I stuck with just keeping my setting on my new 1737 at 1440 x 900 and putting up with the blurriness etc? Have tried everything from going into Catalyst center to adjusting settings in appearance in vista etc..

View 3 Replies View RelatedI lose about 5~10% of my battery life in a 12 hour period after shutting down my computer and unplugging it from the wall.
Anyone else experiencing something similar? No one else has brought it up for this new Z so I was wondering if I'm just a minority (granted the laptop is new and not many people have it yet)
I am in Shanghai and went to demo a new Vaio Z at a local SonyStyle store with a 3.06GHz CPU and Dual SSDs raided. The unit had Vista 64bit and 8GB of RAM... surprisingly though, no BluRay just a DVD Burner... go figure...
I tried to have someone explain to me if the design of the Z was changed because on my Z (model VGG-Z27GN) internally there is only space for one 2.5" drive (and nothing else really).
If the new Z's can accommodate 2 HDs inside, some major internal redesign had to be made. Does anyone know if this is the case or if maybe Sony is using some sort of two 1.8" Drives instead that they RAID together
I just got mine in the mail today. It says online that it's built in but I don't know how to access or find it (I got CTO without WWAN, and pro w/fresh start)?
