Monitors - inches vs resolution
- by Vnuk
I'm currently moving away from living five years only on laptop to a desktop setup. I'm currently browsing for monitors and I've noticed something strange.
On my laptop I have 1920x1200 on 17". To get the same resolution on a monitor I have to get Dell U2410 24" or Samsung SM2443NW 24". I do not need (or want) 7" more inches of screen, I just want the 1920x1200 resolution.
Why is this setup (big resolution on less inches of screen) available on a laptop but not on a regular monitor?
I'm setting this as a community wiki beacuse I think that there is no right answer here...
