According to the new VESA CVT (Coordinated Video Timing) system for describing display pixel formats, the display on my laptop has magically turned into a 1.47M3. SXGA+ is now officially passé.

    Yeah, this is a great improvement!
    What’s wrong with “1400×1050″?
    Now you have to calculate the number of megapixels and the aspect ratio…
    BTW, quoting from the page you refer to:


    M3 = 4 : 3
    M4 = 5 : 4
    M9 = 16 : 9
    MA = 1900 : 1200 (A is hexadecimal for 10)

    I don’t get it… that last line, I mean… am I missing something?
