Screen Too Wide

Computer Screen Too Big

we used to have to agonize about different grades of lcd screens, but you can assume that lcd laptop screen today are active matrix, the better version of lcd compared to passive matrix. lcd screens are perfectly flat, about half an inch thick, and use less power than old crt screens. the main power drag on the lcd is the need to run a backlight to illuminate the display. on top of that, the backlight has to shine through the screen and illuminate even when you are viewing a black screen. until there’s some alternative such as a self-illuminating screen technology, we are stuck with lighting up a backlight. that’s the way it is.

laptop size
clearly, a laptop with a 15.4″ diagonal screen is going to be physically larger than one with a 14″ or 12″ or screen. the actual size of the laptop has been increased in order to hold the larger screen. so, choose wisely if you want a big screen–you may not be happy with a laptop that feels clunky and is harder to move around. if you want a giant desktop replacement laptop, you can get as big a screen as you like. we have found that even to pass a laptop with a 15″ screen across the room you may need to use two hands. if you want a “normal”-sized laptop, we highly recommend the 13″ or 14″ screen. it’s a decent compromise between size and heft.

widescreen vs. standard aspect ratio
although you can still find them here and there, standard aspect screens (4×3 aspect ratio) are starting to disappear. that’s kind of a rip-off, as regular aspect ratio screens are bigger than wide screens, with 16×9 ratios. now that there’s a widescreen craze with big tvs, the little screens are following, and we will probably be in an all-widescreen world pretty soon; so, we won’t worry about it too much. the lcd makers have geared their factories towards the wide screens, and that means cheaper wide screens.

screen resolution
resolution refers to the amount of pixels across by the amount of pixels up and down. usually, bigger screens mean bigger resolutions. also, cheaper screens of the same size have less resolution. you may want to upgrade to the “+” version of the screen you are thinking about if you have good near vision. it will give you more room to move things around and you can see more stuff at once. if you want to see big text, you may want to consider sticking with the standard screen, or even looking for a cheaper model with a lower resolution. we are getting closer to a time where font size and screen resolution won’t matter, but we aren’t there yet. you may want to go and look at different screens at a local computer or electronics store to figure out what size and resolution you like. as time goes on, larger screens keep getting cheaper, and instead of increasing screen size too much laptop prices have come down. if you are aiming for a very small notebook, you will most probably end up with a 12″ screen.

here’s a range of laptop screen sizes and the resolutions that are often displayed on the screen. to give you an idea of how much you can see on the screen we include megapixel values for each screen size:

• As of Mixxx 2.2, Mixxx uses Qt's automatic scaling for high pixel density screens. Unfortunately, this does not always work well. Sometimes it uses scaling to make the GUI too big on screens that do not need scaling, or if your screen does require scaling you may prefer a different size than the automatically determined default. You can disable automatic scaling with.
• Webpage is too large for my screen Some webpages will not fit on my netbook screen. If the webpage has a split (horizontal) page, then the lower part can be scrolled but not the top part. Invariably, the top portion has the 'exit' or 'sign out' command. How do I fit the page to my screen?
