> Display 14.1″ 1920×1080 FHD, Matte Finish

I'll pass. It has a 16:9 display.

I'm still using 1080p monitors in 2023, with the exception of my Surface Book 2 which I don't use nearly as much (I prioritize my personal desktop way more). I game on 1080p I just don't have desk space for 32" 4k monitors, and I dont see any value in having 4k under a 14" monitor.

I agree, but the complaint is about aspect ratio, or more specifically about the wasted space / unnecessarily smaller screen within the chassis.

Similar to op, I won't buy a 16:9 laptop anymore. It can be 1920x1200, though, that's still sufficient for smaller laptops.

Interesting, I have been stuck in 1080p land so I have not tried 1200, maybe if I get the chance I'll check that resolution out. I am debating making a small jump to "2k" since its between 4K and 1080p, but I get the feeling those monitors are not quite as common as the other two resolutions, and I'm not sure if it'll be truly worth it. This is in terms of a desktop, not a laptop, but I could see the argument for 1920x1200 for a laptop, seems more reasonable to me.

1920x1200 is 16:10. Huge difference from 16:9, amazingly enough.

I notice a big difference with 2K at 13". Text looks much nicer and there's a lot more useable real estate.

There are resolutions between 4k and 1080p, as well as monitor sizes bellow 32
