So I bought a new 15" MBP. What a disappointment to say the least - the screen resolution and sharpness in OSX is awful compared to Windows XP using ClearType. No amount of tweaking/adjusting fixes the problem. The native resolution on a 15.4" screen should be 1680x1050, but for some reason Apple makes the max resolution 1400x900 and the text looks blurred/out of focus.
I was hoping that after spending a few hours getting BootCamp setup and Win XP installed that I could at least get the resolution to the correct setting of 1680x1050 in Windows, but no go. The Nvidia setup program only allows for the Apple 1400x900 and some other out of proportion settings that either stretch the screen or shrink it down.
Live and learn I guess - this machine is going back to Apple tomorrow! I'll have to take a $250.00 "opened package" hit, but I guess that's better than keeping a $2500.00 system that is clearly flawed.
Maybe Apple will get it right with the next version of the MBP's...
