FYI, I have a Gateway M505X notebook. I bought it this March to replace my 2001 Sony Vaio FX-340.

Well 15" is decent for a laptop, you should be able to do 1024* no problem.
Mucus: "For the vast majority of LCD panels, and I'm almost willing to bet all TFT panels, the max-res IS the same as the native resolution. This is because of the fact that an LCD physically only has the number of pixels that its native-mode resolution has."
I wasn't referring to LCD's, I meant usual CRTs. The max res you can use always lands on 60 Hz, so the max res with good refresh rate lands at around 75%-80% of its resolution scale.
I know LCDs give more screen for the buck, and have had lower radiation rates than glass screens already since the first Toshiba laptop around 1985.
I will buy one when 1: the price for a 19" has gotten more humane, 2: the response time drops under 10 milliseconds or less at a market-wide scale, and 3: the viewing angle is so wide and stable that I don't lose contrast and tint just because I lean back in the chair.
Just checked one of the top resellers in Stockholm, a good Hitachi 18" lands on about 1002 bucks, shipping excluded.
For 7500 kronors I could get a deluxe kingsize bed in which to sleep and screw like a king, instead of this little monitor. *snort*

) a new trick. How do you adjust the refresh rate?
