Windows Vista®: Display Personalization The integral screen has a native resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels. If you change to a presentation with different characteristics in the Windows “Personalization” Help Program, the display will not appear on the whole area of the screen, among other effects. Using a higher resolution can lead to distortion of the display, especially with text. Using a lower resolution may cause the display to use only a portion of the screen area.
Positioning of the Monitor Please ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that that reflections, glare and light-dark contrast are avoided (as this will make the screen less attractive to look at). (Ill.: Monitor positioning) Your posture Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's important that you maintain proper posture.

Pixel Defects on TFTs (LCD-Displays) Active matrix TFTs (LCD) with a resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixel (WSXGA), which are in turn composed of three sub-pixels each (red, green, blue), contain about 5.3 million addressable transistors. Because of this very high number of transistors and their extremely complex production process occasionally defective or incorrectly addressed pixels or sub-pixels may occur. There have been several attempts in the past to define the acceptable number of defective pixels.
Example 1: A 15” - XGA-display consists of 1024 horizontal and 768 vertical picture dots (pixel), which amounts to a total of 786,432 pixel. Related to one million pixels this translates into a factor of about 0.8. Class II type failure consequently allows for two defects each of type 1 and type 2 and 4 defects of type 3 and 2 clusters of type 3. Example 2: A 17” - SXGA-display consists of 1280 horizontal and 1024 vertical picture dots (pixel), which amounts to a total of 1,31 million pixels.
