Inspirion 5100 XGA vs SXGA+

[golfcart]

Does anybody know how much of a quality difference there is between the Dell laptop XGA screens and the SXGA+ screens? There is a $50 price difference between the two and was wondering if it's worth it.

I got a 5100 with the XGA screen last week and it's now possible to get the SXGA+ model for a few dollars less than I paid for mine. If it's a much better display, I'm not against returning mine for the better one.

Let me know your opinion if you have had experience with both. Thanks

I haven't had experience with Dell's particular screens but I've always been much more impressed with SXGA than XGA. If at all possible I would recommend getting a UXGA screen, they're phenomenal. If you want a general feel for what the difference would be just head down to a local store that sells notebooks. Look at the differences between the different kinds of screens and see if it would be worth it to you.
