Did FHD kill WUXGA?

#1 Post by bgalakazam » Tue Jul 05, 2011 1:11 am

1. Did Full HD aka crappy 1920x1080 kill WUXGA 1920x1200?
2. If so, is FHD the highest resolution on newer laptops right now :banghead: ?
3. Is there a thinkpad after the T61p (beast :twisted: ) that uses WUXGA?
EDIT: besides W500, W700, W701
4. Is there an i-series WUXGA laptop (any brand)?
EDIT: besides W701

I am loving the QXGA :bow: :bow: :bow: I have at the moment and the lowest other LCD I am willing to settle for is WUXGA, which seems is gone too?

Since I had a faulty T61 mobo, I am using my QXGA with a T60 at the moment and am considering a T61p with WUXGA in case that is the highest.

1. Probably? QQ
2. Maybe the 17" MacBook Pro?
3. The T500 is WUXGA capable.
4. Probably out of luck for anything other than Apple.

Unless you want to try the 15" IPS shim into an R500 chassis.

So what happens to the people who use laptop for work and business and programming? They are accommodating to the 5% of idiots that watch movies on a laptop (what kind of a moron does that!!!!!)...

I'd think lots more "idiots" watch movies on laptops than programmers program.

Naw, they have their smartphones and tablets for that now. So can we have 16:10 and 4:3 back to laptops now, please? :roll:
