A general lack of screens with 'greater then' >1080 vertical resolution. 
I know this is a common gripe for the TLUG list and technical people in 
general. The value here is that we want greater vertical reading 
distance while stacking multiple windows side by side.

CRTs near the end of their days we're regularly pushing 1600 vertical 
pixels. This kind of screen real-estate has not really been matched by 
the panel market with out it being absurdly expensive. The advent of 
"HD" for TVs has set a "there is nothing better" expectation in 
consumers minds. This has led to the sorry sate where Computer monitor 
manufactures no longer push for larger screens.

The list archives are full of interesting discussion on this topic.

What I'd like to see is some data on how long it took CRT pixel 
densities to get to those levels. Then compare it to the rate on flat 
panels and see if there really is a plateau around the whole "HD" market 
push.
