    yeah. the new dell studio 15 has a option fora 900p screen. this prob means a 1440x 900 screen but it just doesn't make any sense calling it 900p. it even confused me..

    wacky. that's the default screen the sony fw-390 series has by default.
    it's just 1440x900 but wide cause 16:9 is wider than 16:10. it seems like a good resolution for a 15.6" screen. text easily ledgible etc. not like 1920x1080p on a 15" screen

    Yup and if more HD laptops offered 1600x900 we'd hear less complaints about 16:9. I'm looking to Dell to be first to market with 2048x1152 when they finally intro an 18" notebook....since they were a close second to market with the QWXGA resolution on their 23" SP2309 LCD.

    well rigth now i use a 4:3 screen 1024*768 so i dont see a diferencen in height with the 1545. however a 900p screen would be sweet.

    i think 16:9 is gonna stick. mayb on consumers laptop rather than bussines oriented.

    PD: the only thing that matter is the pixels !!!

    I would rather have 1920x1200 than 1920x1080. Same goes for 1280x800 and 1280x720.

    1600x900 was never a legitimate HD resolution anyway.

    i really dont see the diference in 768 and 800, maybe in my psp :p , but 32vertical pixels inst that much. i dont think 1080 is the max resolution aviable.

    and its 1336*768 not 1280*720 if it was that i would complain!!!

    Edit: but the 16:9 aspect ratio is sustain, so 900 bigger than 800 just saying

    1280x720 is true 720p resolution. I'm not sure why, but a lot of "720p" HDTV's have 1366x768 resolutions, and that's probably because it's just a wider version of 1024x768.

    2048x1152 is the 16:9 1920x1200. 1920x1080 is the 16:9 1680x1050.

    Not so. 1920x1080 is what happens when you take 1920x1200, and remove 10% of the vertical space, thus going from 16:10 to 16:9. 1680x1050 has no 16:9 equivalent...and what the hell is 2048x1152?

    2048x1152 is the new 16:9 QWXGA resolution. Currently it's only been introduced on 23" monitors from Samsung, Dell and Acer.

    That's just a weird resolution. Like, if you doubled 1024x768, and then shaved off the top and bottom to make it 16:9.

    Is there anything that actually uses that?

    manufacturing lines (at Sharp and Samsung) had 768 as the vertical dimension for quite some time. to ease the transition toward mass production of consumer HD displays, it was relatively inexpensive to cut glass sheets wider to yield a 1.78 aspect ratio. locking the vertical dimension to 768 meant a horizontal width of 1366.
