[citation][nom]freggo[/nom]Nice, but yet another 1080p... I need a higher resolution please[/citation]Agreed.. 1080p is for TVs..
 
"Full HD 1920 x 1080", what?
Sadly, "Full" is 1920 x 1200, an endangered species even at these low resolutions.
Why are these manufacturers all fixated on this 16:9 cheapness?
If you want sales, ditch this losing resolution, 16:10 is the requirement I hear from most of my users.
16:9 on a laptop is not even good enough.
 
[citation][nom]ankaj[/nom]How is that "frameless?"[/citation]

Indeed, "Frameless" and "Full" have become marketing fantasy terms by all these panel makers lately.

Saying it over and over doesn't make it true...

1920x1080 is a TV/Video resolution while 1920x1200 is more a traditional computer screen.
A/V folk have different requirements than computer people.
But the manufacturers need to get volume up to bring prices down so they try to dump TV format screens on to the PC world. For most people that will do fine of course but some of use need 1200, 1440 or 1600 lines please 🙂

 
I have been rocking the same 24" Dell LCD with 1920x1200 resolution for nearly 7 years!!! Have LCD manufactures digressed over this time? Is there even any reason for me to upgrade???
 
This is the one thing I hope apple will make the industry change for. When virtually every 27"+ computer monitor has half the pixels of a 10" iPad, people begin to wonder wtf the screen makers have been doing for the last 10 years aside from perfecting their "milking" skill.
 
Nope. Frame still visible.

Marketers, please cut the crap with "borderless" or "frameless". You're not fooling anyone; you're only hurting yourselves.
 
The latest Steam Hardware Survey shows 1920x1080 (27.72%) being more popular than 1920x1200 (3.37%) by a pretty significant margin.

With that being said, I agree that 1080p is a little weak, especially for a 27" monitor.
 
@pcgb, The reason why is because the manufacturers have made 1920x1080 more readily available. I did not WANT to buy a 1920x1080 screen, I had to SETTLE for one because it had all of the other specs I wanted.

What specs did you find on a 1920x1080 monitor that you couldn't find on a 1920x1200 or higher monitor?
 
Dear Marketing Team,

Despite what iSheep lead you to believe, we can see. And your definition of frameless really does not match any other term ever made for the word. This is thicker than a lot of non-frameless screens. REMOVE THE BEZEL then you can tag it with frameless.

Kind Regards,
A customer with eyes. (And that is questionable at times, seriously...)
 
How is 1200 significantly better than 1080? It's like a 10% different in vertical resolution.

There is 10000x more content in 1920x1080, thus that's why most monitors are 1080p rather than 1200.

Well, needless to say, 1080P is more popular due to the fact that they make up most of the monitors on the market.

Please tell me you actually mean marketing crap.. :pfff:
 
i know higher than 1080 is better, but personally im not looking for that yet since i play games a lot. With higher than 1080 my current setup will choke. Maybe when im able to buy high end video cards that can handle those. right now, mid range is all i can afford.

and maybe when movies go beyong full hd
 
You guys with your old 20th centure ideas around the word frame......Frameless litterly means frame less. What you be looking for is framewithout. less is a great term, for it to be meaningful it must be used against a reference since no reference is ever provided....its a marketeers dream........

Me I hanging out for framewithout, or noframe, framenone.....so that If like some of you I feel the need to have 6800 x 3825 I can just but a few of these together and then have a real use for nVidias or AMD's latest video card that can now do 1280x1020 in 3690fps, cause thats s much better than 2470fps....smooth baby!!

Hmmm, the 2nd most popular resolution was 1366x768 at 18.84%! Clearly Steam users are not necessarily cutting edge users.
