Desktop and laptop monitors

  • hello


    I would like to know why laptop monitors (that are supposed to have less quality than desktop monitor, since their size is limited) are 15.4" and 1920 x 1200, while a desktop monitor to have 1920 x 1200 resolution, must be 24" and above?



    how laptop monitors achieve such high resolution and desktop monitors cannot achieve it?


    thanks

    Hi,


    to be honest, I can't really answer your question but just so you know someone read your post, I'll answer your question with question (lol / :rolleyes: :(


    How much rez do you need?


    I have a 24" 1920x1200 (dot pitch* of 0.269), a 1680x1050 22" (~0.282) and a 1280x800 13.3" (0.224) . From the three, the 24" looks perfect to me. The text on the 22", subjectively speaking, looks a little larger than usual and on the 13.3", it's quite small (boarderline - err, for a middle-aged person like me :tongue: ).


    But, assuming you have eyes like a hawk, then get yourself the new Lenovo 22" that sports 1920x1200 (& a dot pitch of 0.247) - If you want even a higher ppi then that then you're asking a bit too much from your eyes... ;)


    *I looked up the dot pitch of my "old faithful" CRT, a 19" Iiyama Vision Master Pro 454 (HM903DT) and it was spec'ed @0.25-0.27.
