Sorry, don't fully understand your statement.

I have no idea how or why consumers allowed LCD manufacturers to rip
them off like that. My old Dell Inspiron 9100 (circa 2004) laptop was a
15.4" display with a 1920x1200 resolution. I would expect consumers to
appreciate and expect improvements, yet the standard laptop display is
now 1366x768. G*d, my monitors from the early 90's had better resolution
than that!!

Screen Resolution Statistics (W3Schools site only):

And don't get me going on aspect ratio!

My last [overpriced] laptop purchase was a Macbook Pro with Retina,
simply because of the better display, compared to anything PC
manufacturers could offer.

Sadly I think most smartphones have a higher resolution than 1366x768.


Anyway, way off topic now. So lets move this elsewhere or email directly
for further conversion on this.
