I think you're basically looking for a WSXGA+ screen in something less than 15". In that case I believe your earlier assessment might be correct: they don't make them. I don't think the market for them is great enough. Too many average consumers would see it in the big box store and think the text on the screen was too small.

It's also possible that they simply don't make WSXGA+ panels that small. You're really starting to cram a lot of pixels tightly together.

I think Newegg is a good place to see what's available. They appear to list a good number of laptops (232), and let you narrow your search by screen resolution. The resolution you want is only available on 15.4" notebooks.
