I want to order a Dell Vostro 17", but do not know the difference between the 3 display choices. Dell's website is no help as well.

Anyone know?

17.0 inch Wide Screen XGA+ LCD Display [Included in Price]
17.0 inch Wide Screen XGA+ LCD Display with TrueLife™ add $0
17.0 in Wide Screen WUXGA LCD Display with TrueLife™ [add $150]

Thank you.
 
1=low resolution with matte screen finish
2=low resolution with glossy screen finish
3=high resolution with glossy screen finish
 
Is the resolution of the monitor to great for the size screen or am I better off going with option 2.

Anyone seen both?
 
WUXGA in that size definitely means "small print" but you can increase font size of Windows so that'll help some. But if you're used to smaller resolutions with bigger pixel size everything is going to look small. I've myself had laptops with 15.1" SXGA+ (1400x1050) and 15.4" WSXGA+ (1600x1050) and with bigger font size haven't had problems in those.
Two first options are WXGA+ (1440x900) which again is vertically cramped resolution if your'e used to higher resolutions. (traditional 4:3 screen is much better fit to general dimensions of laptops)

Also much depends on use. If you're doing anything with pictures that'll need lot of space while word processing would work easily with smaller resolution.

As for glossy vs. matte that's something you should see yourself to decide, some of these fashionable glossy screens can double as mirror.
