Does anyone have knowledge of or experience with some of the recent notebook
computer displays?  I'm specifically interested in knowing how big of a
difference the 'ultra' graphics (UXGA) makes over the standard XGA display.
On the Dell web site, the cost is significantly more for the UXGA.    For
the visually impaired, is the contrast etc. significantly improved?

Another related issue is video RAM.  How much of a difference does more RAM
make for use with programs for screen enlargement (eg. ZoomText) and speech?

What other issues should be considered on otebook computer displays for the
VI?

Thanks,
-ED Hersh
