    It is missing WXGA+ resolution 1440x900. That resolution is a 16:10 one.

    interesting, I wonder why QVGA is 1/4 VGA, but QXGA is 4x XGA. and where do things like 1080i vs 1080p fall?

    1080i and 1080p are both the same resolution, i just means interlaced, and p means progressive. All HDTV resolutions are 16:9 ratio, so that resolution ends up being 1920x1080. FYI, 1080p is better than 1080i.

    OK, so then does the 1080p require a lot more processor power to display? or is the 1080i easier to fake? I see a decent amount of hardware that claims it can do 1080i but makes no mention of 1080p.
