26% more viewing area than Dell's traditional 15.4-inch notebook displays,
supporting crisp, sharp images and wide viewing angles with increased
brightness. The default resolution (WXGA+) is 1440 x 900, with an optional

128 MB DDR-video memory, this extra space delivers an exceptional viewing
experience for movie lovers and multimedia enthusiasts. Likewise, the large
display aids in productivity applications. Users can easily manage dual
windows, simultaneously conducting web research while authoring documents.
