Back in 1990, I had a Sun Workstation, with a 24 inch monitor, and
1900x1600 resolution (100 dpi), by 16 million colors.
The Windows 3.0 PC had 640x480 by 16 colors and the Windows 3.1
workstation had 800x600 resolution by 256 colors.

I never cease to be amazed that the retailers are still only offering
WXGA resolution (1024x720 or 1200x800). Even most HDTV retailers
offer 1080p (1900x1080).
I special-ordered my Thinkpad with 1900x1200 resolution. really looks
great. I have notices that many of the hotels now have 1080p flat-
screens in the rooms.
