The resolution is 1366x768 and the dp is 0.51mm.
That's the "native" resolution (as written on the box), whatever that really means. The device does 1600x1200, though, which is why i bought it. In the store they had conflicting info - on one sheet it said 1600x1200 and on other it said 1366x768, so we actually hooked up the screen to an on-display computer to make sure it would do 1600x1200.
You started the thread saying the "text is really blurry". To make the text as sharp as possible, an LCD display must be run at its native resolution. That's reason #1 not to use 1600x1200 #2 reason is that according to the marketing information the L3200T is a 16:9 widescreen. 1600x1200 is standard screen, 4:3. That marriage either produces object aspect ratio distortion, or use of considerably less than the entire viewable area of the display (on a TV, letterboxing).
After telling sax that my screen is 32", instead of the 42" it had configurd, i get a more reasonable view:
xdpyinfo | grep resolution resolution: 58x70 dots per inch xdpyinfo | grep dimensions dimensions: 1600x1200 pixels (701x435 millimeters)
It isn't super-sharp, but it's more usable.
You won't be able to do better than native. You need to put the actual display dimensions using DisplaySize 708 398 in xorg.conf, and select a widescreen video mode for your preferred color depth, preferably 1366x768 if your display adapter can do it, which should result in 49x49 DPI.
When it "extended VGA" text mode, though, it's almost unreadable. (e.g., when i use ctrl-alt-f2 to drop to a text console.)
This is a typical property of using a text tty on an LCD display. When you do so, you're not using the display's native resolution. AFAIK, all you can do is experiment with various vga= parameters on your kernel line until you figure out which is least objectionable. -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped."
