I have a R51 SXGA+ (1829-9MG) and I love the screen. As I said in an earlie=

was too high for my employer...

I have no problem with pictures on web pages and text is easy to resize if=

necessary with CTRL-+ in Konqueror.

In Konsole and kvim, I do like rather small fonts and I use the Bitstream V=

Sans Monospace font at size 10. I have had a collegue or two saying that my=

fonts were too small but they usually work from a desktop, much further fro=

the screen than I usually am.

screen is rather good in this respect.
