Small, High-Resolution LCD Monitors?

An anonymous reader writes "I'm a veteran user of an old 17" Dell Trinitron CRT monitor. I run it at 1400x1050 with an 80Hz refresh rate — about as high as it goes before it'll go out of the monitor's scan range. More recently I've been looking to finally upgrade to an LCD monitor but found that, for the most part, every 17" monitor on the market runs natively at 1280x1024, as does every 19" monitor — I have to go for a 20" to go higher. Now yes, I know I'm complaining about just 120 pixels horizontal and 26 pixels vertical, but my laptop's 15" display runs natively at 1400x1050. Is there any standalone monitor on the market that'll natively do higher than 1280x1024 without killing my desk space?"

    Or if you want really high resolution and don't need color (and have too much money): EIZO RadiForce GS310-CL Single Head 20.8", 2048 x 1536, $6k

    ((emphasis mine above) The EIZO is only 10-bit grayscale, NOT color.

    [copied from another reply to a comment about it being grayscale]

    True, that particular one is. They do sell color versions though, like this one with 1536 x 2048:
