Exactly, it's like laptop vertical resolution in particular has gone in the wrong direction the past couple of years. What happened? Trying to view web sites on one of these resolution challenged laptops means a lot of scrolling up and down, feels like the 90s all over again. Glad I'm not the only one and glad Linux raised the issue.

Indeed it has, formerly 1920x1200 screens were dialed back to HD at best (so 120 vertical pixels lost), and where the standard laptop resolution used to be WXGA (1280x800), WSXGA (1440x900) and WSXGA+ (1680x1050), all of that has been rolled back to the completely crazy 1366x768 garbage. TV's "HD" has been a blasted plague on computer displays.
- Swannie 14y agoAgreed. Trying to find a decent high-resolution screen is a real pain today. Dial back 5 years, and it wasn't such an issue! Everyone makes "HD" up until 24"... 24" HD is nasty. I would hope for something approaching 3000 x 1500 in a 24" screen :-(
