    These days laptops come with HDTV TFT screens 1920x1200, not 1600) and
    these TFT screens do physically have 1920x1200 dots.

    I've seen a few of those on the new dell M60 laptops, and the quality of
    the display is simply stunning.

    Running at lower resolutions means the (say) 1280 X-pixels will be spread
    out over ther 1920 real pixels, meansing you actually *loose* clarity (as
    some picels will be doubled while other don't)

    As above, the physical resolution is 1920x1200
