On a side note, maybe I am just not experiencing these controversies. My Computer has 1200p, my Laptop has 1080p, TV has 1080p and my smartphone has 720p. Pretty much all standard.
The size ratio and resolution issues have impacted laptops more than anything else, since the displays are integrated. Sure, you could always get 1920x1200 or 1920x1080, but these are generally regarded as premium options and were so even on laptops 17" and up until fairly recently. Even then, you still paid for it. It's the mainstream end of the spectrum that really got the shaft. My laptop from 2005 has a 14", 1440x900 16:10 screen, standard. Even today, a 14" or 15" laptop comes with a 1366x788 16:9 screen as standard. This is unacceptable, and it's not like consumers had a choice or a chance to influence company decisions (I love broken economics) because the entire industry went that way except Apple, but Apple's 13" screen was 1280x800, so it wasn't not really any better.
