Intel Seeks High-Resolution PC Displays, Arrival in 2013

We've seen how the HD resolution has supplanted 1,024 x 768 as the most popular worldwide and, now, we find out that Intel wants things to move even faster on the display market.

According to Liliputing, the Santa Clara, California-based company fully expects higher resolution displays to start gaining in prominence from 2013 onwards.

And by “higher resolution,” we mean higher than even Full HF (1,920 x 1,080 pixels), not just HD (1,366 x 768 pixels).

In fact, all displays are bound to advance, Intel thinks, not just PC monitors (3,820 x 2,160 pixels). 

That means laptop panels (and yes, ultrabooks too) will have 2,180 x 1,800 quality (13-inch diagonal) or 2,560 x 1,440 (10-inch and 11-inch ultrabook/tablets).

What's more, smartphones will leap a bit too, to 1,280 x 800 pixels.

We don't really think Full HD is old enough to be considered outdated, so we can't say we'll fall on our blades in grief if Intel's hopes don't come to pass so fast. We'll see what happens.
