Is there a 14" notebook with 1080 resolution

I really want a 14" with 1080 resolution but cannot find one. The best I can find is 900 dpi. Does one exist?

 

Not that I'm aware of. Smallest FullHD screens I know of are in 15.6" laptops, and that's already a very high DPI.

Why do you need a 14"? A 16:9 15.6" is very close to as tall as a 16:10 14", just a couple inches wider.

 

No, but there is a 13" notebook that does

Go to specification tab and look under display.

 

Yeah, pita, you have a point, but that 3/4 of an inch makes a huge difference in an economy seat on an airline. Plus it is a pound heavier anddrains a little more battery.

zephir, thanks for the tip but $4500? HOLY COW.

Maybe I should just try to find a 13.3 with 900 dpi vertically

 

I use my Envy in economy seats... it works surprisingly well

 

Ah, the envy, one of the candidates, though I am tempted to wait for the 14.5 inch with optical drive.

What kind of battery life are you getting on your configuration? It is the same as the one I am considering.

 

With the standard battery, about an hour and a half to two hours. With the extended one, 6-7 basic usage.

 

movies on an airplane? Get a $200- archos 7 tablet (android).

 

Will that play Civ4 on an airplane?

 

Maybe HP Envy 14 gets a Full HD option once it's configurable? I wouldn't be surprised if it does. 14.5" seems to be quite an odd size, maybe there was a special reason HP opted for it.

Sony Z starts at about $1700 with 900p screen. Refresh should be coming soon (June iirc).

 

1080p on 14"?? You'll need glasses to read text at that resolution on that size screen

I don't believe there's much to benefit from resolutions higher than 720p on 14" or lower, sure the desktop real estate is nice i guess, but all the definition is wasted for movies unless the display itself is big to begin with.

 

I wouldn't mind the 1600*900 screen on Dell Studio 14(z).

 

I agree but 1080p on a 14''? I have seen a Vaio Z with full HD in person and I literally had to squint to read it.

 

I agree, 1600*900 is the highest I would go for 14".

I saw the Vaio E series today, 14" 1600x900. Nice screen.

 

wouldn't it be incredibly tiny? Even my SXPS with a 15'6 screen and 125% DPI is quite hard to read at 1.5 feet away.

 

The announcements say that it'll be 1600x900 as an option, 1366x768 standard I believe. No FullHD, starting at $999.

 

$4500 and it only has a i7-620m? WHAT!?! I know it has a small form factor, but wow.

 

And what's wrong with that? I'd still rather have the i5-540M than the i7-620M.

 

15.6 + 13.3 = 28.9 / 2 = 14.45 rounded up to 14.5

 

I said odd because most (all?) 14" 16:9 notebooks have been 14.1 inch.

 

I got glasses so full HD on 15.6 inch not practical.. for me 17 inch min..

oh yea , if u saw the notebookcheck.net review, the whole laptop became an oven under load with i7-620m.. load temps of 90-100C for CPU and GPU is 80-90C... so i7 quad is not practical...

Anyways , as far as i know only 13 inch Vaio Z has full HD... for 14 inch , Vaio CW has 1600X900 but i don't know about any 14 inch full HD screens..

 

WOW! This thread took off! Awesome! Thanks for all the info and input.

Yeah, 1080 might be too small for regular computer use. However, if the native resolution was 1080 then I would not need another dedicated graphics card to output 1080 when use the laptop as a glorified movie player on a larger 1080 display.

I know that dedicated cards are not that big of a deal, but the switching has been a problem other than in nvdia Optimus computers. Because of this, they do affect battery life, which is really important for me. Yes I could get a larger battery, but a slim computer is also among the top 4 requirements (as well as resolution and HD Editing/playing capabilities). I would love to get one of the low power cpu options out there (SU series) but none fulfill the requirements to even play HD video. I might even chose one if I could not edit but at least easily play HD.

The Envy 15's battery life is not acceptable for me. Really, it is looking like I may have to settle for the 1.3 inch e6510 or 1.2 inch e6410. I was really hoping to get to the 1.0-1.1 mark but that does not seem possible.

If you are curious to what I am looking for in a computer, please feel free to comment on this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/wha...en-900-1080-dpi-hd-viewing-light-editing.html I have not received any responses there.

Again, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, what does it mean when Sony claims that their screens are glossy, but anti-reflective? I am really intrigued by their laptops (though I am still not sure if they will fit the bill) but the glossy screen is a turn off. I have always gone the route of a matte screen and NEVER regretted it.

 

Doesn't Lenovo offer a res higher than 1600x900(or what the 16:10 equivalent is) on the T4x00 series? Or am I thinking of the T5x00 series?

 

Can you explain what you mean by this statement? You might be misunderstanding something.

 

1080P signal output does not require the laptop's lcd monitor to have 1080P native resolution.

 

From speaking to both Lenovo and Dell, they told me that if I wanted to use the displayport to HDMI cable, the only caveat was that the output would be the native resolution of the laptop, which in this case is 1440 X 900. They also said I would have problems with sound. They said all this would be corrected if I get a dedicated video card. It did not make sense to me, but I first read it in a forum or two and then it was confirmed by the manufacturers.

 

The native resolution of a laptop has nothing to do with the maximum resolution you can display on an external monitor hooked up to a laptop.

The maximum resolution you can run on an external display that is hooked up to a laptop is determined by the maximum resolution supported by the laptop's GPU.

My laptop has a native resolution of 1366x768, but using just VGA i could run my laptop on my 24" external display's native resolution of 1900x1080 just fine

 

Hmmmm, I wonder if I need a dedicated card. Do you think I was being misinformed?

 

Sounds like it LOL! And no, you dont need a dedicated GPU to run HD video and what not to the VGA/DVI/HDMI output...I know Intels later IGP's do perfectly well with HD output. Gaming on the other hand is a different situation...

 

Thanks AndriodVageta! I appreciate the confirmation

 

esumsea, they were DEFINITELY lying to you.

the 'correct interpretation' of their statements is that if you want PERFORMANCE on the external screen to be identical to your laptop screen, then they both must be of the same resolution. this is a gaming issue(or other types of 3d rendering); HD playback is no longer an 'enthusiast feature.'

 

Thanks for the info
