This might be caused by you screen is not being recognised as a device on the computer, thus not making the odd resolution appear. You need to find the device in the Control panel and than your resolution will show up.
1440x900 is the bigger resolution
This item has 1440x900 resolution and 800:1 Contrast Ratio.
well for my 19" it is 1440x900
1280x800 (Earlier than Mid-2009) 1440x900 (Late 2010)
Yes, it does. It supports even 2048 x 1536@85Hz
A standard 19" monitor is 1280x1024, a widescreen 19" monitor is 1440x900.This will depend on monitor brand and video card capabilities.

It is: 1440 to 900 = 8 to 5
17 inch screen (measured diagonally, as always), wxga display type with maximum resolution of 1440x900 pixels (width x heith of the screen in pixels). The HDD (Hard Disk Drive) the 'closet space' of your computer is a 120GB Seagate (thats the brand, Seagate) Drive spinning at 7200 RPMs (revolutions per minute, pretty standard). The number at the end is either a serial number or a model number.
It might be possible that the laptop did not come loaded with correct video/display software or drivers. By installing appropriate software or drivers, you should be able to get the 1440x900 pixels resolution. Please check with the place you purchased your laptop to see which software or driver available. I am sure you can purchase software and drivers online also.
The Golden Mean is 1.618, right? "Widescreen" is usually interpreted to mean 16:9, which divides down to 1.78, and "Television ratio" is 4:3, which divides out to 1.3...so a widescreen is closer to the Golden Rectangle. Bonus answer: Laptop computers with 17" displays (usually 1440x900 or 1920x1200 resolution) have nearly exactly the same aspect ratio as the Golden Rectangle -- 1440 divided by 900 is 1.6... which is VERY close, and you can generate a perfect Golden Spiral using the 1440x900 dimensions!
Well, you can use a program called irotate if you have a monitor that supports a resolution of 1440x900 (in other words a 17" or 19" monitor) and choose to rotate it in irotate's settings or it is built in to your graphics driver as extra software such as an Intel 845GV/GL/GE chipset. Also it should be enabled on most recent NVIDIA Graphics Cards such as GeForce 8 series. For irotate: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/irotate.shtm
