Exactly the sort of mess I expected, only multiplied. I still remember 9.5mm film, then 2x8mm, then super 8.

But it mentions 1680x1050 only in passing, as a curiosity among others. But nowadays it's really strange that the industry with go producing, en masse, monitors which are exactly 30 pixels short of HD. Want true HD? Go buy 1920x1200, and enjoy 60 extra pixels blacked out at top and bottom. And, of course, pay the price which is disproportionately high, compared with the missing pixel count.

Well, if they think the lure of watching their cr.. stuff in HD is a lure to buy the extra larger monitor, they can forget it. I'm not only not buying a larger one, I'm not buying ANY of their HD stuff, until they stop with this stupid scheme.
