I know 1280x720 monitors exist, so why aren't they all that res if they're not going to be bumped right up to 1080p res?
By the same token, why are non-widescreen LCD monitors not 4:3 (1280x1024 instead of 1280x768)?
I've never found a good reason for this, so if anyone can give me a decent explanation, it'd be appreciated.
