resolution and refresh rate of Screen in T43 2668HH7

[damon]

Hi,
I just got this new laptop.
But its resolution is too low: 1024x768 (maximum).
Its screen refresh rate is only 60Hz which makes my eyes feel not good.

Any approaches for its improvement?

Thanks.

On the LCD screen the image only needs updating if it is changed; so, the refresh rate it's not relevant in this case.

I can't find the specs of your laptop, can you provide a link with your model? Which screen do you have? 14" one? Or 15"? XGA/SXGA/UXGA?

it is 15" TFT XGA.
This is the descrition of my laptop.

I see.. so, the max resolution is (only) 1024x768.

Try to turn on Windows XP ClearType; more informations here:

1024 X 768 is the Native Resolution for a XGA LCD display. No way to improve that unless you buy a new display (I am not even sure you can install a higher resolution display in your laptop lid and attach it to the motherboard successfully).

60 Mhz refresh rate is pretty much standard on LCD's and at any rate will make no difference on your XGA display, even if you could change it.

You could buy an external monitor and preferably a dock (and probably a USB keyboard) and use your laptop that way.

You could return your laptop and get a different model, or else sell your laptop and buy a different model.

Or you could just get over it and accept it. I have a 14.1" XGA and it's fine by me.
