I'm utterly sick of 1366 x 768 displays. Advice please.

I cringe when my girlfriend maximizes browsers on my 1600x900 display. I can only imagine...

Eh? I maximize browsers on my 1080p display when I only have that window running. Yeah, some websites suck with that, but NBR scales very nicely

It's not about how the website scales for me, it's about having the browser maximized, I just can't stand maximized browsers, really anything but videos and games.

I run everything maximised. I can't stand having a decent resolution then running four apps in tiny windows and spending 90% of your time looking at just one if them. Alt+tab works for me.

Each to their own.

Besides, working with SQL and C# side by side is not practical, even on my 24" screen at work.

I dont know the obsession with ''hey I have 24'', look its huge!'' not it aint, its what we have thats standard now. huge is a 30'' panel with 1440p or more

Another 1080p in a 13.3" ultrabook? Samsung considering a 13-inch, 1080p, PLS panel, display snobs get their hopes up -- Engadget Do it Samsung!

and we have the 1600*900 of the thinkpad x1 carbon

I wasn't obsessing - just saying. Much prefer to use my laptop than an external screen anyway, as I prefer laptop keyboards.

Food for thought: say, on June 3, Apple comes out with their retina display refreshed macbooks. Then, wallah! HP, Samsung, and Dell WILL HAVE TO consider what the screen means, and will *hopefully* look at their dismal screen options and come out with at least 1600 x 900 on their laptops within a month or so!

[Karamazovmm]

the rumors are only getting traction, even with the speculated costs of the displays, currently a 1680*1050 mbp 15 costs 68 it will cost around 196 for the retina ones available on the market right now.

That's because most people use 1366x768 notebooks! Give them something with 1600 to 1920 pixels across and they will start viewing windows side by side.

To me, 1600 to 1920 is overkill on 13" and below screens. I think 14" is where there is a gray line. I like higher resolutions for 15" screens and above since I can competently compare two documents side-by-side.
