And i hope this will be the case for a long time, as at least this give some incentive for people to care a little about their software and sites -barely- working on what would be a supercomputer 20 years ago while barely doing anything more sophisticated than a midrange machine of that time.

well 1366*768 is such a shitty format. So I hope they go away, pretty soon.

  Depends on budget so also were in the world the device is brought. 768 panels are cheaper than 1080 panels so are often found in the lower end devices. While the gap between 768 and 1080 is slowly decreasing 768 is still the dominate screen res in the worldwide stats [0]. But in Europe[1] and US[2] 1080 has overtaken 768, but 768 is still widely used. We will be coding for 768 panels for a long time to come (esp as the mobile vs desktop race seems to be tied for now[3]).

    I should note that in my case i sought after the 768p panel (see my other comment for reasons) and the price wasn't much of a concern. In fact i ignored some cheaper 1080p monitors since i wanted a VA panel due to its better dark colors than TN and IPS (which i've grown to dislike for its washed out blacks).

  I use it for my desktop computer (and in fact i sought for it), so i hope it doesn't as i've mainly seen advantages with almost no disadvantages. It allows for fast framerate in games with low end-ish hardware without the blurriness of upscaling, higher compatibility with older games, crisp graphics in GUI applications (...that follow system settings wrt font rendering - i have antialiasing disabled and use fonts designed to look good without it) and personally i like the pixels being visible. The main issue i have is with sites making assumptions about my DPI (making everything gigantic) and window width (i do not run the browser maximized so often sites get a ~1000px or less width and think i'm using a mobile phone or tablet so they switch to that). Now, TBH i'm mostly talking about the DPI/pixel density/pixel count here. If you are talking about the aspect ratio, then yes it is a bit weird, but it isn't like the world absolutely has to have 16:9 or nothing (and TBH i never really had an issue with it myself outside of a few rare cases where some program used 1360x768 instead of 1366x768 but that was a very minor issue).
