    What lower screen resolutions does the HP DV8 support

    I'm going to buy an HP Laptop DV8-1250ea (full HD infinity screen) with maximum screen resolution of 1920 by 1080.

    >edit<
    I just got this answered on another forum....it does do 1600 by 900


    Does anyone know, or can look at the different lower resolutions available on their laptop?

    I'm interested if it does:
    1600 by xxx
    1440 by xxx
    1280 by xxx
    (or similar)

    (I ask because a full HD Dell I saw only support 1920 then 1280 and nothing in between which isn't good for people with poor eyesite )

    You shouldn't really need to alter the resolution, as I am pretty sure that it will come with windows7 and that features much better font resizing and zooming than previous versions.

    Edit: also using a browser like opera with it's fantastic zooming and fit to width options is a good idea, and if you don't mind me asking if you know you don't have great eyesight, why do you not get a pair of glasses or contacts?

    I had a 17" Dell fow a few days and the 1920 by xxx resolution was just a little too small for the screen size and my eyes (I use a 22" monitor on this resolution fine).

    I was disappointed that the Dell resolution options were : 1920, then 1280...no in between offering
