LCD have a certain height x width pixel dot which in 1280 x 800 case, u'll have 1024000 pixels on that 14.1inch display ..going any more beyond that is negative.... newer display have certain capabilities that can compress the bigger resolution to the same 14.1 inch display..or, simply newer display have more pixel capabilities or densities..
iphone 4 for example...has newer display and contains almost twice the pixel resolution that the older display with the same diagonal length... now i wonder when will IPS screens will go mainstream, heard that it's lifespan is quite less than mainstream LCD...
