What is the definition of a laptop computer display - HD versus standatrd definition
(OP)
This is a 15" Dell Inspiron, very cheap machine ($385) that claims to be HD - Intel HD integrated video, and 1366 x 768 maximum screen resolution - text is fuzzy - running Win8.
My other laptop is a Compal PBL15 15" laptop, 1920 x 1080, Nvidia 540M or (something like that) video card, noticeably much better, Win7.

Display Resolution is as from factory, and it cannot be greater than 1366 x 768.
Also, text has a sort of grey "shadow", which makes it look fuzzy or not well in focus.

Is the fuzziness any different with other typefaces?
Are you sure you have the monitor set to 1366 x 768 resolution?

I had a Dell tech support guy take remote control and he tinkered with the machine all morning to no avail. I also saw him checking the resolution and it was definitely 1366 x 768.
Also, the viewing angle is very narrow. The display has to be tilted back exactly right.

But my original question is resolved - yes it is an HD display as advertised.

It is interesting - nothing on Toshiba's web site mentions HD for their low-cost laptops. Just Intel Graphics, for example.
RE: What is the definition of a laptop computer display - HD versus standatrd definition
Note that computer displays (including laptop) are not typically marked "HD" -- their resolution is expressed in pixels.
Anyway, my laptop is three years old and the screen is really sharp with vivid colors. I watch HD movies on it from time to time.

My wife uses the Dell only for Net browsing, emails, and games, and sometimes a Word document.
I was hoping she would use it more but she just doesn't like it.

For high-end laptop, look at Sony...

All of their laptops seemed to be Win8, so that totally eliminates them form the running.
(I am a diehard Win8 hater)
