I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but do they have an option at the original 1280x800? I don't want my games performance to tank, and I find that resolution to be perfectly comfortable.

you can always just run the games at that resolution

That's fair. I'd just rather not pay for pixels I won't use (/s)

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 weeks ago

Just donate the extra pixels to charity, problem solved!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

There’s also an argument to be made for the pixels not being an ideal multiple. Maybe it matters less when there are 3440x1440 of them on a traditional screen, but the blurriness caused by this effect at small screen sizes is quite noticeable on text.

i think screens look blurry in the wrong resolution. i always rather use it in the native resolution. that effect will probably be more noticeable in a low ppi screen like the deck's.
