Cheer up! It also means you probably won't get THOSE LINES on your screen any more.
Those lines, as in the two horizontal lines you see in an aperture grille monitor that has been running for awhile? If so, he wouldn't seen THOSE lines in an LCD anyway, since they only appear in aperture grille CRTs.

the loss of 60 pixels... big deal
For me this is a big deal.
Where I work, when we first went to LCD's, we went to ones which were the equvalent of a .297 pitch.
Before that I had a lovely .25 pitch Sony Trinitron apteture grille monitor. Razor crisp.
I felt I like I was looking at everything through a frikkin screen door. I could see the individual pixels on the monitor in front of me. I hated it.
And you bet your butt that when I went to buy an LCD for use at home, it had the smallest pixel pitch and fastest response that I could find on the market at that time (2001). (BTW, Formac 17")
If I'm paying for a Pro-level premium product, I want a pro-level premium display in it and to see that Apple has raised the pixel pitch means they're using a cheaper LCD.
grrrr.
