Unusual, surprising they decided to put a 16:9 resolution in a 16:10 case, assuming the commentary is correct.

shows it to be packaged in the same shell and offering identical outputs –

Don't you mean inputs? or have I missed something?

Wow, they're putting WSXGA+ in a 19", and that weird resolution in a 22". The only other odd monitor I can think off is Lenovo's 22" WSXGA+. It's like having WUXGA on a 15.4" Laptop... oh wait... those do exist

Sweet. Finally a flat panel that will stretch the capabilities of the top ens cards with out being massive in size.

I wonder what resolution you would get if you squeezed the same pixel density into a 24" or 27" screen?

That could be a tempting upgrade from existing 24" screens.

Thing is those, text becomes so small you start straining your eyes. 1280x1024 on a 17" is the ideal resolution as far as I'm concerned, this roughly translates to the 1600x1200 21.3" 4:3 Iiiyama I have at home.
