I am going to guess that 1600x1200 is natural size in pixel of an LCD
panel on a laptop. If so, it is not only *a* possible resolution, but
the *only* resolution possible (besides 800x600 by grouping pixels
2x2). Other resultions seem possible but the pixels are only kind of
sort displayed that way. This resultion has been fairly common for a
couple of years now.
By the way, I have a laptop with a radeon 9600 and 1400x1050 display.
My desktop video card and monitor are also capable of high
resolution. The only problem is a distinct lack of fixed width fonts
which are readable when laptop monitor is 14" (and desktop monitor is
a 19" CRT). Are there any good fonts which show up at least 3mm high
at 120 dpi?
