1600x1200 isn't widescreen, it's 4:3 -- a fairly standard aspect ratio,
which dates back to silent movies. Widescreen is generally taken as at
least 3:2; more commonly 16:9.
Some Apple laptops have 1440x960 displays, but you're not likely to find
much higher in the laptop world (though I suppose they do exist). With
desktops many CRTs can go up to 1920x1440 or more.
And of course you can go dual-headed, say, 3840x1440, though I don't
imagine many people with that kind of setup would maximise their browser.
