I'm coding your "High Resolution Solution!" (Score 1)

The solution is not nearly as simple as setting your font size large(r) as many posts have suggested... It's quite complicated, as many, many late nights coding the "fix" these past months have proven to me.
And... 1600x1280 (or larger) DOES look like *#$%& on a 15" display (as far as fonts/icons are concerned) and I've got 20/20 vision; As a developer I LOVE more resolution real estate.

I work for Portrait Displays, Inc., Pleasanton, California. Our company is known in the industry for our Portrait/Pivot display utilities(rotating displays).
I'm a software engineer, working on a new product which "fixes" this problem with hi-res/hi-density displays.
We are currently working with several large computer and display manufacturers (unable to name them here, but they are the leaders in the industry), testing our product in preparation for shipping later this year.
We (and the display industry as a whole) expect these new hi-density (133-200ppi, pixels-per-inch) displays to become prevelant over the next couple of years.
I personally expect to remain quite busy, working late hours, getting the product to market;
But rest assured - We've got the software solution!
And - 133-200ppi looks FANTASTIC!
The product is not currently listed on our company web-page, as we're still testing and negotiating contracts for distribution.
