Videos? On a 3:2 display? Don't get me wrong, I've been begging for laptop and display manufacturers to bring back displays with usable vertical resolution for writing code, but it's definitely not for watching video.

Um, that's barely narrower than a standard 16:10 aka 3.2:2 display, or a 16:9 / 3.55:2 HD panel. There's be minor letterboxing on a 16:9 DVD, but it would be barely noticeable.
