Now, I'm thinking, holy shit a 1920x1200 monitor for $150! WHAT AN EFFING DEAL! Turns out full hd means that it's just 1920x1080 at best. So what gives, that's most definitely not the best consumer resolution, so how is is HD? If that was the FULL HD then wtf is a 1920x1200 display? GODLIKE HD?

I guess its called Widescreen Ultra eXtended Graphics Array...Super Turbo Third Strike.
In any case, there are even greater resolutions than that. My buddy bought a monitor that has 2000x1500 something. He is a graphcis designer or something...
I think we can safely stop at 1920x1080 as a society...lol. Time to move on to 3D, virtual reality, sex toys...resolution have been maxed out.
