T41 Native Display Question

[nsuperman86]

I was looking at T41s and I found a deal on one but it has a 14.1 inch Flat Panel (1400x1050, integrated).

I have heard that if you switch to a lower resolution that the screen becomes more blurry. Is the 1400x1050 a good viewable resolution? I dont like things too small on my screen, but of course not too large either.

Can anyone show me some screenshots or photos or something so I can get a sense of this whole thing?

I'd go to a store and check this out, but I think I need to act on this deal ASAP.

Thanks for the link, very helpful. But, just to be sure, those are of the native 1400x1050 resolution right (on the T41)?

The left one is a T42 14" with 1400x1050 resolution. It has the same display as the T41. The ThinkPad on the right is a T42 with 15" FlexView screen (1600x1200).

You can always set the screen to 1400x1050 to get the sharpest picture, but change the DPI setting for the monitor to enlarge everything you see on the screen. In other words, you can change to a high resolution while keeping the same view on your screen.

So I would go for the higher resolution thinkpad.
