I guess the story is that there is no high-vertical resolution
available yet. Confirms what I have also found.
IMO, high vertical resolutions are very useful for reading documents and
editing and bug-fixing code. Not having them anymore is a real
disappointment.
the closest I've seen to that is the standalone monitor I have at
home, 2048x1152 which is pretty unusual, but still not what you wanted.
