So I just got a new laptop, and it has a 15.4 wsxga screen. aka 1680 x 1050. It looks awesome. So awesome that when it sits on my desk next to my 19'' lcd at 1280x1024, it makes my 19'' look like crap. So my question is why doesnt dell have higher resolution lcds. I mean the 2407 has the same resolution as my 15.4''
 
They DO!!!

Here are the "older" models. The new ones follow a similar naming scheme and have the same resolution. The update is mostly pixel response / brightness ect.


17" w/ DVI 1280X1024 Dell 1704

19" w/ DVI 1280X1024 Dell 1905

20" w/ DVI 1600X1200 Dell 2001

20" w/ DVI 1680X1050 Dell 2005

24" w/ DVI 1920X1200 Dell 2405

30" w/DVI 2560X1600 Dell 3007



You can have pretty much whatever resolution fits your budget.

To answer your question . . . . Have you SEEN what 1920x1200 looks like on a 17" display? Some prefer it . . myself included. That said . . I don't think ANYONE would argue that it is NOT pushing readable text size.
 
yeah you're right.. but even still thats a lot more monitor for the same resolution.
 
I understand that you can get higher resolution monitors, but to get that higher resolution you have to buy a larger monitor. What I mean is why dont they make a 20 inch widescreen with a resolution with AT LEAST 1920 x 1200 or a 24 inch with a resolution of 2560 x 1600.. that sucker would look crisp as hell.
 
I don't get it either. My Dell laptop had a 1920x1200 resolution on a 15" widescreen. That's pretty dang tiny, but I would totally dig a 20 incher at that res.
 
lol thats not that bad i wish i could run my 19" CRT higher as it stands it drives my roomates nuts thay 'say' thay cant read stuff on my PC at 1600x1200 lol and i want higher res one of these days ill have to get a nice widescreen LCD but for now it keep every one off my PC lol :p
 
if you want to keep people off your pc, do what i did... remove all your keys on your keyboard and put them back on randomly. most people hunt and peck, and they will just get to pissed off and frustrated to try and type on your keyboard :)
 
I don't think so.
Pixels as 0,294 (average LCD pixel width) are pretty big, so - logically higher the resolution, smaller pixels - sharper image :)
