If you're really into graphics you may want to get the 1920 screen, but if you're a gamer or student on a budget you need to stay at 1680 so that you can play games in native resolution or have the "just right" size Windows desktop display space for productivity. There is a smaller resolution 1280 screen available but that resolution is too small now and I recall reading bad things about the quality of the screen. You'll want to immediately jump into your video properties and adjust your contrast, brightness, and others. I like a contrast of about 111%, brightness of 98%, and a gamma of 89%.
I can't seem to find the 'video properties' to adjust my contrast & brightness, how do you get to it?

Also, what resolution do most of you use on your 6000.
