    so long story short me and a few other members are disagreeing with marshman about the existence of a 1920x1280 screen. (read the Envy 17 thread in the HP section).

    I'm certain it doesn't exist. He/she is certain it does.

    so lets see what all of NBR thinks.

    Edit: I'm going to post the math behind what I believe
    1920x1080 = 16:9
    1920x1200 = 16:10
    1920x1280 = 3:2????

    to get 1280 vertical lines in any standard...
    16:9 -> 2275.5x1280
    16:10 -> 2048x1280
    4:3 -> 1706.7x1280

    none of the above exists. it COULD exist in 16:10 but It doesn't make sense as there already is 1920x1200.

    so I argue that 1920x1280 doesn't exist (or any XXXXby1280).

    I was going to say it did but then I remembered I got it confused with 1900x1200

    we all know there is a 1920x1200 (they are great!).

    basically I think 1920x1280 is a typo, but marshman not so much...

    It's definitely not a standard resolution and I can't see a laptop having a custom one like that.

    Strikes me as a typo between 1920x1080 and 1920x1200.

    edit: too slow...

    That's not 4:3, 16:9 or 16:10. There is not use for such a ratio.

    The guy is an obvious troll who just joined nbr this week to tick people off. Ignore him.

    yup your right but I posted "does it have a 1920x1280".

    not sure why you voted that there is such a screen.

    Could you send me a link to this debate? I'll clean it up if someone is just trolling.

    This is really not a "poll" question since the burden of proof lies with the person making the astronomical claim. If it exists, he should be able to provide the information to prove it. Just ask him to show it to you.

    lol, he did, he posted an acer ad from when the 16:9 was just coming out.
    he posted a listing from a small online retailer from the UK which had a LG with '1920x1280 screen (searched it on LG's site and it was 1920x1200)
    he posted a link to an ebay listing... lol

    so he has/is trying to prove it. but he just won't hear anyone else. if you have a few minutes it's a pretty funny read...
