Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels?
An anonymous reader writes "Switching from 1600x1200 to wide 1680x1050 to HD 1600x900, we are losing more and more vertical space, thus it is becoming less and less simple to read a full A4 page or a web page or a function call. What's the solution for retaining the screen height we need to be productive?"
As you loosen the screen requirements to a less-stringent format, the vertical pixels flatten since the horizontal pixels cannot support the additional weight.

But then my neck hurts at the end of the day from turning my head....
I find rotating my monitor 45 degrees gives me the best of both worlds, more vertical pixels in some spots, more horizontal in others. Unfortunately I can't make WinXP play nicely with it.
