So I'm checking out the prices on Dell notebooks compared to Powerbooks -- don't look at me like that you zealots! I'm just shopping around a little! -- and Dell offers three types of displays on their widescreen 15" model:

15.4" Wide Aspect XGA Display
15.4" Wide Aspect Super XGA+ Display
15.4" Wide Aspect Ultra XGA Display

Can someone tell me what the differences are in XGA vs Super XGA+ vs Ultra XGA? And what type of display does Apple use in the PowerBooks?

Don't worry, it's still 99% sure I'm getting a Mac, but it doesn't hurt to see what else is out there.

Thanks,
Mike

Resolution.

All are Ultra-Sharp(tm) Which increases the viewing angles substantially. But the differences between the xga prefixes are as follows.

Resolution Pitch
XGA 1280x800 .258mm
SXGA+ 1680x1050 .197mm
UXGA 1920x1200 .172mm


All have +/-65 degree horizontal +/-50 degree vertical. 300:1 contrast ratio.

Damn decent screens.
