    I think the 1680 x 1050 is painfully small. Seems like a WSXGA would be a good compromise.

    16:10 ratio

    WXGA = 1280 X 800
    WXGA+ = 1440 X 900
    WSXGA = 1536 X 960
    WSXGA+ = 1680 X 1050
    WUXGA = 1920 X 1200

    Edit: I originally put the res figures in my first post but for some reason it got cut out.

    Yep 1440x900 WXGA+ is available. The resolution you mentioned of 1536x960 is not gonna to make things significantly larger and you'll probably still find it too small. Your best compromise is probably WXGA+

    I've never seen that as a standard resolution.

    No, it's WSXGA+, ppl just never type the plus.

    The MacBook Pro 15.4" uses a WXGA+ panel.

    1680 x 1050 is commonly regarded as WSXGA+ (counter to 1400 x 1050).

    I bet we'll see 1536 x 960 in the future.
