    From webopedia.com
    XGA
    Short for extended graphics array, a high-resolution graphics standard introduced by IBM in 1990. XGA was designed to replace the older 8514/A video standard. It provides the same resolutions (640 by 480 or 1024 by 768 pixels), but supports more simultaneous colors (65 thousand compared to 8514/A's 256 colors). In addition, XGA allows monitors to be non-interlaced.

    UXGA
    Short for Ultra Extended Graphics Array, a display specification that is capable of displaying 1600 x 1200 resolution, or approximately 1.9 million pixels.

    SXGA
    Short for Super Extended Graphics Array, a display specification that is capable of displaying 1280 x 1024 resolution, or approximately 1.3 million pixels.

    TFT
    Abbreviation of thin film transistor, a type of LCD flat-panel display screen, in which each pixel is controlled by from one to four transistors. The TFT technology provides the best resolution of all the flat-panel techniques, but it is also the most expensive. TFT screens are sometimes called active-matrix LCDs.

    Thanks Russ;
    they all sound outstanding don't they..?

    I'm basically looking for a middle of the road laptop and don't play many games at all but want something around a 2gig P4 running win2000 and a 15" screen but get totally confused looking to tell the truth.
    Matter of fact, i'd prefer to get one with No OS loaded and install my w2k since i have (2) legal lics win2000 and only using one.
