    Are the new T61 wide screens high-definition? Dell m1330s that were just released are all high-definitions.

    I can't believe you buy into marketing like that.

    Any screen with a vertical resolution higher than 720 pixels is considered high definition.

    In other words, computers for the last decade have had high resolution screens.

    I'll have to remember that when someone says "hey, you got one them widescreens." It's not a widescreen, it's high definition. :D

    Calling something high definition is really misleading, it could be 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and I think there is even one higher resolution standard as well.

    fyi, 720i/p is 1280 x 720, and 1080i/p is 1920 by 1080. I'm pretty sure the new dells are 1920 by 1200, so they currently conform to 1080p. I think the highest resolution on a Thinkpad is 1680 by 1050, so technically, they can't do 1080p

    Actually the highest resolution offer on a Thinkpad is QXGA (2048×1536) for the R5x series

    I saw the title and I had to come in to check things out. Answers I expected to see are all here.

    I can't believe they are going to market with "High-Definition" screen....but I guess it is working if someone is asking questions on it.

    Are you insinuating that a 13.3" screen on the m1330 has 1920 x 1200 resolution? If so, someone needs a trip to the mental institution.

    Yea, the m1330's definitely do not have uxga resolution. It is actually just 1280X800 which I believe is just xga, the lowest resolution you can get on a laptop nowadays.
