New Yes... but.
the "now make it 120Hz" crowd.

These people don't even understand how we see. 24Hz is fast enough for us to see seamless motion. 29.97Hz is plenty good enough. 59/60Hz is overkill.

120Hz? WTF, you have super natural eyes? Including the content doesn't have 120 frames per second to display... we are lucky to get 30Hz most times. So, 1 out of every 4 frames is "new" the rest are extrapolated? Oh but this is exactly like the Super HiFi crowd.

Meh. Yes. I'd LOVE to see *density* go up a lot. Heck, I'd like to see the resolution and density get back to what they were on laptops 5 years ago.

New No shit re: density
Work laptop: 1280x800
My fuckin' phone: 1280x768

Back when I did IT, ISTR having to tend to a few TI lappers that had 1024x768 screens.

In 1996.

It's ridiculous.

New Yup. I've got a 14" T41 ThinkPad that's 1400x1050, IIRC.
It's got a 1200 MHz Pentium M processor, to give you an idea of the vintage...

It's pathetic that it took Apple's tablets (and phones) to move portable computing screens forward after so many years of stasis.

The big laptop manufacturers deserve all the pain they're going through...

Cheers,
Scott.

New My T61 has 1680x1050 from 6 years ago.
15.4" Nice clarity at that size.

Everything else compared to it looks like crap.

Though I use 23" 1920x1080 (93 ppi) on the external VGA port. I still like the 15.4" 1680x1050 (128 ppi) for the density, it is nice.

I mean crap the PPI is dropping these days because everyone wants *SIZE*... not Size with Density.

Plus who want to watch up-scaled video (1080p to 2160p or 4320p) It just looks likr crap compared to a 1080p display.
