In 'every other article' I have suggested that in this day and age we should be seeing a Miniumum of 1200 vertical pixels, and would expect more than 1500. I had CRT monitors with 1600 vertical pixels at the turn of the century, and >1200 vertical pixels in a 2004 dell laptop.

Its sad when laptops 6-7 years ago had higher resolutions than that, even sadder when the reviewer calls 1080 "impressive" when there are tablets with much better resolution than the laptop he's reviewing!!
