I am confused whether to go for HD or FHD anti-glare on Dell Inspiron 15r special edition.
I basically need a screen that would be better for working longer hours and reading text (i mean readability).
Apart from this I am a CSE student would use my lappy for programming and web browsing .I am not a gamer but would watch movies occasionally.
There is a BUZZ around that a FHD screen will make text shorter and little due to its high res.Is it true?
plz restrict ur thoughts to 15r special edition.....Dudes i am concerned with my eyes

Clear texts and font sizes can be adjusted simply by windows. I would suggest you to get full HD anti-glare.

It's all up to you and your budget. Go to dell showroom and compare.

I don't think dell showroom's keep the FHD versions in store. Its only available via online ordering I guess.

Okay so this is true that default font sizes are smaller on FHD but they can certainly played around as to what you like. That being said, I use a 1680x1050 screen and I am actually okay with default text sizes. The best part of fhd screens is they give you lot of room on screen - better workability. For long I have been thinking that fhd or hd screen should become the norm, this is the only thing that hasn't got advanced in recent times. (If this becomes a norm - prices diff will come down). Which City are you in ? doubt that you would be able to get hands on a demo fhd dell laptop. Try dell exclusive stores..
