Are you sure that you have the WUXGA screen that has a native display of
1920 X 1200? I think that the D800 comes in two flavors - WXGA with a
native resolution of 1280 X 800 and the WUXGA. My first guess would be that
you have the WXGA, not the WUXGA. That would account for the poor display
at a non-native resolution for the LCD.
