  AFAIK, no one yet does 1920x1440.  I just threw it in as a 4:3 aspect
ratio response to the ubiquitous 1920x1080.

  Considering that the widespread adoption of high pixel density cellphones
has demonstrated that at least some portion of laptop users might welcome
higher resolutions, where are the vendors on this (other than Apple)?  I
would love to be able to quantify the size of this market niche.

  I imagine that small form-factors also require less raw materials and
consume less power.  I don't want to buy multiple/humongous monitors
unless I actually want to demo something.
