Geeks.com sent us in the 28" HannsG HG281DJB monitor for a review. This VGA/HDMI LCD monitor has an outstanding 1920x1200 resolution, making it good enough for both PC and TV usage.

Bad dot pitch

A monitor with this resolution should be 22.64" to get the same dot pitch of a 20" 1600x1200 monitor (exactly 100 pixels per square inch).

I know someone with a 12.1" laptop that does 1280x800 and it is beautiful (124.75 ppsi).
When I buy a laptop it will probably be a 15.4" 1680x1050.

Anyway, that is my benchmark....this thing is only 80.86 PPSI. Pretty bad, although not as bad as my 60" 1080P TV (36.72 PPSI)

Replying to self....Can we not edit comments anymore?

Found out that 1920x1200 is about the max that DVI can support, so I guess if you want something that size you aren't going to get any better resolution without using two DVI ports on a single display.

I'm not sure on this, but I was under the impression that "dual" DVI still used one cable, just with extra pins.

My, now ancient, Vaio T1XP has 1280 by 768 pixels on a 10.6" X-Black screen - utterly stunning. If only I could now get, say, a 21.2" display at 2560x1536 (LED backlit please)... maybe I can, but I bet I can't afford it!
