Bought an Optimus: 17.3" Full HD LED Backlit Widescreen (1920x1080) Super Clear Glossy - but the resolution doesn't go to 1920x1080 with the normal drivers installed. I'm new to laptops - is this right? Anyone explain why it's not supposed to/how to make it 1920*1080 res?

Cheers.

All the Optimus' I can see list a 1600x900 screen resolution. Can you post the full spec list of your order?

It now only lists it as 1600x900 - however when I ordered it it was 1920x1080. This is what made me choose the Optimus over the Viper II.

I think you need a PCS representative to clear up this discrepancy.

Ok, will do tomorrow morning. Just wanted to check on here that I wasn't making some stupid mistake with drivers/settings. As I say I'm new to laptops - this is the first I've owned!

Cheers.
