Potential 1920x1200 (WUXGA) panel for the Framework Laptop 16?

So, I have been using my Framework 16 now for a few weeks and is very happy with it generally. Though I am not the biggest fan of 2560x1600p on a laptop panel as stuff tends to look very small (Scaling isn’t an option for me, generally works very poorly in my experience.) so I have been trying to look for a 1920x1200p panel suitable to in theory replace. I think I found one in the BOE NE160WUM-NZ1 as it seems to be the same size, apparently the same connector and all the other stuff (outside refresh rate, brightness and resolution) to the original NE160QDM-NZ6 according to panelook.com

Now have I missed something or have I perhaps found a panel that could be seen as a more gamer oriented option for the FW16?

You dont need to use scaling, nor change the panel.

Why not just set the resolution to 1920x1200 like so:

Because that kinda looks like a blurry mess on anything that isn’t a CRT. Otherwise I would happily do that and save the money.

I admit that I havent used Windows in a while.. but I cant say Ive ever seen a resolution change affect the clarity. Scaling, yes, but not resolution:

2560x1600:

1920x1200:

Maybe my eyes are just old and I cant see it :person_shrugging: :rofl:
