I had the same problem with my 9300 (WXGA screen). I just downloaded mozilla from http://www.mozilla.com and now it is perfect, images are just as crisp as on my old 1024x768 CRT. Websites still only take up half the width of the screen, but thats just cause sites are still designed for VGA displays. Widescreen internet sites are a long way away IMO

I am having the same problem.  I have noticed the BLOCKY appearance of graphics while surfing all internet sites.  Digital pictures, when viewed, also have a poor pixel interpolation and look horrible.  2D performance just seems pathetic.  2D re-draw rates are abysmal and it take quite a bit of time to move a window across the screen.  Is this a driver issue? 

 

3D performance is awesome, but I use this computer for work too!
