Does anyone make hi-res LCD displays?

It appears that except for laptops, most LCD displays sold nowadays have
the same mediocre resolution--basically equivalent to 1024x768 on a 15"
screen .. That's about 90 dpi (!)

So you go tho the store .. you buy a 15" monitor and you get your
1024x768 pixels .. you buy a 17" or even a 19" monitor you get the same
mediocre resolution plus the few extra pixels to make up for the
additional screen size .. 1280x1024 in "wide mode", maybe? With a
21-22" inch and double the price you might then graduate to something
like 1650x?? same resolution of course .. etc.

There are some 22" WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution monitors out there from major
manufacturers (google for them). You can also google for folks
that have used the laptop screens as monitors (some assembly
required of course). My Dell M70 has a 15" 1920x1200 panel in it
(for example).
