"Intel's next generation laptop platform, code named Montevina, has a nice feature that remains quite unheraleded, Displayport. Not only does it allow you to drive an external DP monitor, it uses it internally." My take: So let me get this straight. We are finally leaving the days behind where TVs were TVs and computer monitors were computer monitors, entering a brave new world where a TV can be a computer monitor and vice versa, all thanks to DVI/HDMI - and now we're getting Displayport on computers, recreating the wretched OR situation of yore? If I had any hair, I'd be pulling it out right now.

Why the hell would you want standardized pixel sizes? I want them to continuously increase pixel sizes for as long as they can, at least until they hit around 600 DPI - not stick to some lame low-res standard locking display technology in the past without being able to fix all the crap our low ~100 DPI monitors force us to deal with, like having to choose between incorrectly placed glyphs or overly fuzzy glyphs.

known dimentions, pure and simple...
when one have standardized sizes for both displays and pixel density, one do not have silliness like webpages thats designed for 17" at some rez or other (because thats what the designer used)...
hell, lately i have been running into pages designed to be viewed on widescreen displays. most likely designed by some imac user...

interestingly, that just summed up my complaint about HDTV
still, how sits very close to a 30" monitor (like those dell have for sale)?
if you sit at desktop distance your moving your head to pick up the corners, and you could just as well have gone with a couple of smaller ones side by side.
but then i have this crazy ass dream about displays standardized around iso standard sizes (you know, the A4 and friends) with a standardized pizel size.
