The eternal resolution

>have to deal with this shit in 2017 on my fucking laptop
>laptops these days are still not good enough to justify changing the 6 year old quadcore i7 + 6GB RAM laptop
I fucking hate that this meme resolution was kept for so long in laptops. Even fucking phones had better resolutions at medium end pricepoints, while laptops only had 1080p starting at 1300€+. Fuck OEMs.

God bless my thinkpad for 1600x900 resolution.

anything under 1200px vertically is a fucking joke.

there were common thinkpads with 1600x1200 at 15inch in fucking 2003.

>tfw never owned a higher resolution than this

naw dude, it's fine. your smartphone probably has twice the resolution lmao

>tfw 1080p IPS thinkpad
feels gud

Does a good 16:10 laptop exist?

The absolute best resolution for any device is 1920x1200.
You can't argue.

Only if you buy shitty laptops. Even mine that cost only $800 five whole years ago has a 1080p screen.

This is exactly where I'm at. There's literally nothing worth buying to replace my A8/R5 with 8GB RAM that has equal or better specs AND a 1080p display without spending so much money that I might as well build a ridiculous gaymurrr machine.

My company just ordered 200+ Dell Latitude 7340? With 32GB RAM, i7, 512GB M.2, and a fucking TN 1366x768 screen.

I may raging so fucking hard. Trying to convince these fucks to send them back, or at least order 1080p next round.

Why would fucking Dell even out such a shitty screen in a high end laptop?

This, and this, and more of this.

I concur

Boomers not able to scale up GUIs and screaming "I can't see shit! Everything is so smal!!"

As much as i hate the 4k propaganda

4k is pefect

Sure i love seeing gigantic pixels with my eye

Not for a laptop, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between that and 1440p or even 1080p

There is no discussion. It only effects people buying old junk Thinkpads.

Lots of useless shit gets pushed really hard to make people buy new shit but higher resolutions were actually fucking OVERDUE and therefore it a good thing.

Anything over 300dpi on a phone (meaning for example 4k on a fucking phone) is idiotic though.

I had a qhd laptop like 2 years ago, get with the times grandpa...

yeah and unlike all the stuff they pushed, higher res screens actually require more money

>1080p
Too small
>4k
Too big
>1440p
Perfect

That's only up to 27 inches in diagonal.
Anything above that needs a higher resolution if you don't want brain cancer.

Too bad the HD+ panel is fucking trash otherwise

t. T420 user

>4k
>too big
for what, faggot?

1366x768 is comfy

>buy a 7 year old ThinkPad
>1440 x 900

1680 x 1050

Resolution of the year, every year

1366x768 should be illegal in 2017.

it triggers me because 1360x768 makes more sense

>1280x800
>in 2017

you mean 1280x720

whats wrong with this particular resoltion?

a 15inch laptop

It's a resolution that belongs on monitors less than 12 inches. The problem comes when 14-inch laptop monitors use it when they easily could have used 1080p

how did you find your way to this site?

>still using a samsung syncmaster
>1680x1080

>tfw every one of my phones since 2015 had a higher resolution than this

>still using a sony trinitron
>1600x1200

>1768x992
>never supported

UU
UU

how can a resolution belong on certain monitors?
surely higher res is better for bigger screens too?

web browser

My samsung syncmaster killed my gpu.

So I now own a 32" 1440p, color accurate VA Panel named Benq BL3200PT.
The colors are INSANE on this. Really makes a huge difference to that old TN panel.

>Mercy edition

If anything thinkpads are the less affected ones since the display is easily upgradeable, furthermore old thinkpads had shit like 1920x1200 screens and 1400x1050.12" screens back in the time.

You can just not be a poorfag. A lot of 750-1300$ laptops have FHD.

you can get an IPS FHD thinkpad for less than $250 easy

New?

1600x900 is literally just a more compact 1600x1200.
Your 1600x1200 is just a clunker.

lmao

~200dpi is fucking perfect on anything with a battery

fucking this!

this

Is 1440p overkill for a 24" screen?

My HP ENVY 17 I bought in 2011 has a 1080p 120Hz panel.

Fair enough. 2560x1600 is a good one but for smaller displays I'd rather see pixels than deal with DPI problems.

It irritates me that OP image isn't 1366x768
kek

I have 1920x1080. It just werks.

>1600x900 is literally just a more compact 1600x1200.
Except it's missing 25% of the pixels

Vertical space you fucking retard

SAmefag

16:9 is literally the worst ratio.

>Vertical space
Makes your 4:3 laptop a clunker.

vertical space doesnt matter on desktop displays, because there's always a bigger 16:9 screen you can get.

Ultrawides are retarded for the same reason.

Try again

kill yourself

no, but a 27" is better.

This

It's a laptop, it's supposed to be portable. Your 4:3 clunker is not portable. When people see you with it on the train, they think, "WHAT a NERD!"

Unironically the Boomer we have who images these things never noticed the shit screen, and his 1080p laptop is at to 150% scalling.

Not him but to be fair, I saw a bunch of 1280x800 laptops back in the day, I even had one.

>Anything over 300dpi on a phone (meaning for example 4k on a fucking phone) is idiotic though.
4k on a phone is autism-grade, but I'm going to raise it to about 450-500 dpi. I have a 350 dpi iPhone 6s, and I can see the pixels. Put a samsung phone next to it and the difference is night and day.

No, nigger. Now go buy a ultrawide 21:9 display

>When people see you with it on the train, they think, "WHAT a NERD!"
Why the fuck would i care, I WORK ON IT YOU FUCKING STUPID NEET AUTIST

Forgot image

der ewige resolution

Installing Gentoo on your 10 year old chinkpad is not work, user.

No, it isn't, poorfag.

This is what people should say to everyone on this autistic board. And you can "werk" on a less autistic laptop too.

>have x220t
>can't just pop in a ayylmao screen like on my t420

I just got one for £30 inc postage for my w510

>be me
>use toshiba laptop with 1366x768 display
>search for new laptops
>no new laptop is good enough to justify being a new laptop

why are modern laptops so shit?

this.
They focused on power consumption but instead of giving us 10+hours of battery time they cheap on it, and we still get 4 hours tops.
They aren't even lighter than the old ones

1600p/4K master race reporting in

Nothing better than 2736x1824

try laptops from japan like SHARP or original japanese toshiba line called dynabooks

this thread looks cool in 1024x768

>laptops in 2017
Get with times grampas. My Samsung Tablet with S-Pen can do anything I want, and then some more. Anything too heavy I can do on my PC anyway, I can even SSH with my tablet into a server.

1440x900 should be standard in laptops right now

After seeing how pathetic laptops have become my next portable computer is likely going to be a tablet.

user, the best thinkpad, x200, is 1280x800...

>x200
That's not how you type t420

>tables
That's idiotic.

Not like modern laptops are any better. Lack of essential ports and serviceability make them useless.

Better hardware, customizable hardware, choice of an OS by default.
>lack of ports and serviceability
Don't limit yourself to shit brands and cheap laptops then. If you're paying less than 500$ for a laptop then don't expect it to be good.
