Looking for 19" LCD @ 1920x1200

[thniels]

I am looking for a 19" LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1200 or something other with the same physical resolution. To be precise: I want to be able to match a monitor with the resolution of a notebook so that the pixel-per-actual-physical-screen-inch resolution is the same on the two monitors. The notebook has a 15.4" WSXGA monitor with a resolution of 1680x1050. That means that my vertical resolution is 140 ppi. I need to match that. The alternative, of course, is to dock the notebook and use two identical monitors but I genuine feel that to be a waste of a good monitor. But do these resolutions even exist outside of notebooks and CRT monitors?

there's no such thing. for 1920x1200 you need 23"+ LCD.

And to explicitly answer the ppi question. There is no readily available LCD monitor that can match the pixel density of upper-resolution laptop displays.

lol good luck

thniels, can't you just push the new LCD back until ppi is roughly equal?

A 19" 1920x1200 LCD would be like a 24" 1920x1200 LCD pushed back a foot or two, right?

And I want a tube TV with 1080i resolution.

Ha! It seems I will have to solve this one differently (or move back my monitor ). I will stick the notebook in its dock and use two stand alone monitors. Thanks a lot, all!

What laptop do you have that will drive 2 external monitors? I've never heard of one capable of that since the 'internal' display is hard-wired to one of the 2 video outputs.

It is a HP nc8430. I don't know that it supports two external monitors, only assumes so because the docking station has both a DVI and a VGA output. They could be mutually exclusive, I know, but until I try it and prove otherwise, they work . if it doesn't, I have a new situation.

I just plugged in another monitor and it works. So the problem is solved, albeit not as I had initially hoped for.

Apparently, such thing exists - lol.
