I hear several people complaining about the high resolution of the ultrabook, can't you just reduce the display through the control panel?

The instructions state clearly how to do it... but not through the control panel. It is easier than that! 1. Right click or touch on the blank area of Windows (I assume you have Windows 8.1) 2. Personalize --&gt;Display 3. Use the menu on the right hand side. From here you can do anything, resolution, color, text size, etc. Hope this helped!

pretty good - set it to 640x480 and 'high quality' in &lt;monitor settings&gt; for best quality

Hi JonathanThis was a purchase my 11 year old Grandson made. He had problems with it and sent it back. I think it was a software issue so I don't know about the screen resolution. I'm sorry I can't answer this for you.

Replace the DisplayPort cable, it sucks.Buy another, much thicker one,one that's rated for 2160 x 3840 pixels, 60 Hz, IPS, DisplayPort 1.2 . Seriously.With a bad/poor cable, like the one that comeswith the $700 Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q,you might be forced into 29 Hz, low-res mode...and/or the cable will just plain break, causing garbage to appear on the screen.It's worse if you swing it portrait, and/or move it around a lot.The original cable had bent pins and the like... really bad.Why did Dell give me such a -crappy- cable ? ?Dell's cable is half the thickness of the $9 one I boughtto replace it ( same day shipping, from/to Seattle, Amazon ).

I have iPad Mini (which for some reason isn't listed) and I see NO reduction in display quality. Hope this helps!

Hi. The only way you can change the resolution is if it is connected to a computer that supports more than one display device.

Hi ASUS,Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear that, I guess I either have the option of waiting for a possible refresh although it's probably going to take a while since this isn't even out yet, or go with the UL30 even though I really need something smaller. If you can, please pass it on higher that customers want an HDMI option!Btw for anyone thinking of buying an ASUS laptop, I've been a long time ASUS faithful (starting with the G1), really rock solid and problem free.

The zenbook x31a ships with the I7 Ivy Bridge processor (i.e. 3rd gen). Screen resolution is 1920x1080. This may mean text is a bit small for your liking (as it was for me) you can increase default font sizes in applications easy enough. For example I view pages in Chrome at 110% rather than 100%. Dont change the screen resolution (via the control panel). Keep the default and simply modify settings in individual applications. This will provide you with a clear display. Dumbing down the resolution makes things chunky.Regards,Patrick

I don't think the resolutions are very high. This is a very limited KVM when it comes to resolutions. Also, there are no keyboard shortcuts.

no, it has a HDMI output only since its an ultrabook and they aim for thinness

Yes, you'd have to remove the monitor and keyboard. This annoyed me enough that I just started using a laptop at work. That's a much easier transition.

When I go to Windows display properties, it says the display is se for 1920x1080 (recommended) . I don't know a way to check if its's true or not other than the Windows swtting. I do know that the display is VERY sharp and detailed.

yes you can adjust it by going into your menu and adjusting the screen size. I will try and right down exact details of how to do it tomorrow when I can give you exact details on how. If not just play around and do some adjusting and fixing. if something does not work change it back. you need to play with it a little in order to understand it and get things the way you want them.

I'm curious how the computer linked with to the large plasma screen looks. I would think that 1024 x 768 on such a large screen might look a bit fuzzy or pixelated. Do you see problems with this? Would you recommend going for a higher resolution?

No, speed is constantly the large top display. It can not be changed. You cycle through all of the functions on the lower display.

Like all LCD monitors, you MUST use it in the native mode (in this case, 1900 x 1200) if you want each and every pixel to be sharp. Most of the newer cards support this resolution (you should select EXACTLY the monitor's native resolution; no higher and no lower). Added 5/2/08: After living with the monitor for 10 days (using the supplied HDMI cable with a HDMI-DVI adapter), I have to admit, I agree with R. McGinn. Text and all pixels were absolutely sharp in programs such as Photoshop, but after hours of trying, I was still unable to obtain sharp text on MS Explorer. Tried everything (new drivers, text size changes, resolution changes). Finally gave up yesterday and returned the monitor. Also had significant problems with color accuracy and the "ambient light sensor" causing color shifts. OK if you're not picky about color accuracy and text sharpness!
