Resolution types
Many dierent resolution displays exist and they all have dierent titles. The dierence in all these displays and names is
simply the amount of pixels that the screen can display. Table 1, shown below, outlines the dierences in the names and
resolutions of displays oered in the market.

As mentioned earlier, higher resolution means you can display more on your screen at once. If you work with lots of
data, or need to be able to see a lot on your screen at once this is very important. Many times, mobile workstations are
in a docking station. In this case, the display itself may not be as important as the displays you can run from the docking
station. If you work a lot with images, video, or designs it is benecial for you to have a higher resolution display.
Anti-Glare
Anti-Glare is a way of nishing the glass on a display so that it reects less light. The main reason for this is to cut down
on user eye strain and allow the use of the display in bright or outdoor places. A matte nish anti-glare is the most
common and works by using a rough, matte surface to scatter light rather than reect it. It works well outdoors and does
a great job of cutting the reection of articial light, however, it can sometimes decrease the crispness of the display
and mute the color and contrast. Chemical anti-glare uses a chemical coating over a smooth surface to cut down on the
reection of light. Chemical anti-glare allows for better display crispness and color reproduction but does not decrease
screen reection as well as a matte nish.

Choosing between these dierent screens boils down to what is important to you. What do you need to execute
your tasks and do your job? With the option for DreamColor to accurately do any photo and video editing, this mobile
workstation is a workhorse. If you need to be able to see details, a higher resolution display is going to be important.
However, if you mainly use your computer for word processing and Excel, a lower resolution display is a great way to save
some money.
