No, it IS better, because it does everything 1080 does and more. 1080p media plays on it pixel perfect with no scaling.
So, if 1920x1200 does everything 1920x1080 does plus more, how is it not the better resolution?
The industry hasn't accepted it only because there is a bigger profit margin on 1080p screens, not because of type of inferiority.
You mean like movies in 2.4:1 AR? Even HDTV broadcasters sometimes add black bars instead of cropping(raping) the picture.

If neither is better, why not use the cheapest option? After all, TV screens are made with the 1080p in mind, why not share production with monitors? Surely its cheaper? As much as I don't like widescreen format, I do appreciate their price/perf due to economies of scale. Of course, there are people who prefer 1200, but on the other hand, its a standard which is dying due to low usage. Reminds me of imperial vs metric system, any scientist worth their salt will tell you metric is the way to go, but the dumb public still insist on using imperial due to its convenience. But in this case, the 1200 does not have a saving grace.
again , not all. higher budget, big name ones I see as 2:4:1 , but more often than not most are 16:9 on disc. maybe not the original, but on the released discs.Movies ARE 2.4:1(some are 1.85:1), only cheap made-for-tv movies are 16:9. Ever noticed how blu-rays have black bars encoded in the video so the final resolution is 1920x1080?
And I totally agree with WileE on the 1080 vs 1200 thing.

1920/1.85=1037. like watching 16:9 on 16:10 eh?
It's not being lazy it's an artistic choice. When you expect a certain aspect ratio you compose/frame the picture for that aspect ratio. Pan&scan(cropping) destroys this. Even in open matte(shooting at a less-wide AR, crop later) ones the director would be framing for theaters not home video.

most movies are not 2:4:1, though some big name dramas are, for the most part you see them released on 16:9 widescreen or fullscreen.
1200px does not do everything 1080p does, because it is not 1080p. Game consoles and dvd players are much more likely to have problems outputting to a 1200p monitor than a 1080. maybe that's not a common use, but it's what i use it for very often.
You mention price but fail to consider it. I didn't even mention it as I assumed it was OBVIOUS, but OBVIOUSLY not. look at newegg or your choice of site. if there ARE any 1200px monitors they are at least $150-$200 USD more. they are more expensive to make and more expensive to replace. price is a large factor for most people. and when $150 nets you a 23" 1080p monitor, you need at least $300 to do the same with 1200p...
and then you fail still to recognize personal preference. some people simply don't want a 1200p monitor. so your stance is they are wrong, and they are choosing a lesser product.
why is the determination yours? I not only disagree with your premise, but I like my 1080p monitors and will keep at that rather than going to 1200p. regardless of what you may think of me at this point, that doesn't make me wrong. it's a personal preference.
you prefer 1200p, fine. that doesn't make 1200p objectively better. and note: I never said 1080p was superior. I never said 1200 was inferior. I am trying to stay away from that argument as it is simply juvenile and fails to grasp the point - neither is better.

I think this is kinda cool actually, and 32GB RAM in a laptop is totally sweet. Yes, they will be hot and have a 10 minute battery life but ... duh. No shit. That's why laptop coolers exists, and you don't buy these things for watching movies on the bus.
And I totally agree with WileE on the 1080 vs 1200 thing.

I don't have an inferiority complex, but I think you may have a comprehension problem.i think you may have an inferiority complex.
price then, is not a characteristic worth considering? I wish I had your cash flow. yet you still skip right over my point.
you obviously have a lot invested in this debate, and take it very seriously - neither of which i can claim for myself.
so i'll just leave you with your superior screen, to go play with yourself.

What res are you running that monitor at?
Of course it is going to have a 9-cell, 90 wh battery pack. If you want to choose to just browse the internet then buy a lappy that consumes less power, but if you want to buy a good gaming laptop then what else would you expect than a lappy that will suck some juice
