Small high res TFT's

[Platinum]

Have any manufacturers brought any out yet?, A nice 17 - 19" 1080p TFT would be my perfect screen

Not widely available due to the cost of manufacture. Some HTPCs have started coming with high res small screens (12" tho)

Yep, I used to have a Dell with a 15.4" 1920x1200 WUXGA screen. I love that resolution, and find it unfortunate that it's not reproduced for desktops at similar sizes (19", as you say, would be perfect).

But a 24" Widescreen monitor at the same res surely kicks its ass
But then price wise it isnt great.

[MadduckUK]

isnt great at all. also, just because its not as space constrained as a laptop usually is doesn't mean we all have room for giant monitors (just most of us?)

[Platinum]

For my desktop rig I dont want a 24" screen 17 - 19" is fine for me, plus it needs to be lanable

[dave87]

Heh, yea mines a Laptop screen.

They bought out 1920x1200 about a week after I ordered mine At least I saved about £300 by buying then

You do tend to sit closer to a laptop than you do a standard TFT though (well I do anyway), so a bit less of strain on ye olde eyes.

[MadduckUK]

also - on a kind of related point.. 27" and 23" TV's that can do 1080p

[Platinum]

To big for my needs though :/

My dream gadget is still a small portable 300dpi screen for reading ebooks properly.
