I would like to see LCD's that are not pigeonhole to one native resolution without having to long-suffer with distortions and other inherent problems. -- Good judgement comes with experience...Experience comes after bad judgements

This seems to confuse 'resolution of display' with 'size of image'. There's no reason why a higher-rez display needs to result in smaller images. Suppose a comfortable character size for you is 3mm high on-screen. If you double the linear resolution, then you have 4 times as many pixels involved in that same 3mm high character. This makes the character easier to read, not worse. Thus, the problem is not 'force the screen to display fewer dots than it is capable of', but 'beat up programmers who think that higher resolution requires them to display the same number of pixels but smaller'.
