I am looking for a monitor that has a good resolution, at least 130 pixel per inch.
Does Lenovo make one?
For example a 15" 1600 x 1200 monitor that I can use with a desktop computer.
I have not used desktop computers for the last 8 years because I can not look at those low resolution displays.
I can only work with 130 ppi upwards, so I only use the 15" 1600 x 1200 flexview thinkpads to be able to look at a sharp image and have enough space on the screen.
Every desktop monitor I look at either has too few pixels, or is so huge in dimensions that eveything on the screen looks huge and like a blur.
Otherwise, is there any way I could use my thinkpads display (and keyboard) with a desktop computer?
I need a more powerful machine than my T60p, but all the new thinkpads have worse displays now.

Does Lenovo make a high resolution monitor?
To use the T60p's screen from the desktop computer, MaxiVista may be useful for you. It's discussed here. But that doesn't allow you to use the T60p's keyboard.
Alternatively, if the desktop runs Linux or any other Unix OS, then you can establish remote sessions from the T60p; effectively allowing you to use the T60p's screen and keyboard but the desktop's CPU and other resources.

@ goodgirl:
If I understand your question correctly, you are looking for an external high-resolution monitor; correct? If so, I suggest you Search this forum for L220x and see what comes up; one hit being the thread New Lenovo monitors. You will find this and other Lenovo (external) monitors at their homepage (under Home --> Products --> Accessories & upgrades --> Monitors).
To calculate the pixel density, see e.g. Wikipedia - Pixel density calculator.
