I don't understand why all projectors fail to standardize on either 1280 or 1920 pixels wide. 1440 in all practical respects is useless, whereas the other two are natively HD-no pixel streching required. These things are not CRTs, and native resolution is a huge deal.
There really isn't a reason why this could not be done. Any wisdom out there? The "for presentations" argument is bogus - 1280 and 1920 work just as well, and laptops' native resolutions fail to matter when the VGA-out is enabled (for instance, my D610 has a native rez of 1024x768, but can output any resolution up to 2048 pixels wide using the VGA).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
