I thought this too until i got t42p which has 15" 1600x1200 UXGA. I
worried about this coming from a CRT background. It turned out that this
was not an issue for me as it was ok to move a little closer to the screen
without eye strain. I would never want to settle for less that that again.

Your milage may vary.
