How awesome would a 17" laptop with a WQXGA screen be ?

I hate pianowizard. I've caught the QXGA bug from him. I now dream of QXGA screens.
How awesome would a WQXGA screen loon on a 17" laptop ?

Anyone know if WQXGA monitors are made in 24-26" sizes ? Dell has a 30 inch one, but that would be too big for me.

Probably less awesome than one on a desktop, and seeing how you won't be moving that 17" anywhere, you may as well go for a desktop in the first place.

My next "machine" is going to be a WQXGA monitor. Fortunately my laptop has a decent graphics card (Nvidia qaudro fx 1500) :mrgreen:

actually it would be perfect for someone who needs the laptop in a class for an hour 3 times a week.
