[edit] My 2004 Dell has a 15.4" WUXGA

The statement on Dell selling 15,4" Laptops with WUXGA resolution from 2005 on is wrong: My laptop is from 2004 (or maybe even end-2003) and has exactly those properties. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.159.0.17 (talk • contribs) 10:03, September 2, 2005 (UTC).

[edit] More Products

I have added a mention for Alienware and Hypersonic who both sell laptops with WUXGA screens. Not sure how this list is going to work in future as the screens become more common. The models with the WUXGA screens I listed for Alienware and Hypersonic are not complete list of each laptop which contains one. --Shastrix 22:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the whole product section, as it serves no purpose to the article (other than 'write your favorite monitor down here' competition). The article is not about the monitors, but the resolution. It can contain what monitor first used this resolution, or any that was exceptionaly notable (notable meaning relevantly to the resolution), nothing more than that. - JohnyDog 22:43, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Size

WUXGA is like two A4 paper next to each other? A page says that on review of a 24" TFT.

Can't be. DIN 476 papers have an "aspect ratio" of √2:1, WUXGA is 16:10. — Mütze 17:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Not sure the designers had either A4 or the North American "Letter" size in mind, but according to several references I have found, the idea was that 16:10 fits two full pages of text. It could be they based this more on word processor documents as displayed on screen (with space around the edges) than a physical paper size. I have added this to the article with a reference from NEC. -- CFang 03:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
