reports that
Toshiba's new 22.2-inch TFT color LCD sports 3840 x 2400 resolution.
Unfortunately, the other specifications for the display aren't nearly as
interesting as the resolution. The brightness is only 235 cd/m2; most high-end
displays feature brightness in excess of 300 nits. The contrast ratio is 300:1
and the display can produce 16.7 million colors. Viewing angles are simply
abysmal at 120 degrees horizontal and 100 degrees vertical.
Toshiba advertises that it will sell the display for 2,079,000 yen, or
approximately $18,000 USD. Toshiba also lists a required video card at a price
of 312,000 yen or about $2,700 USD, though most high-end video cards today
should have no problem supporting ultra-dense resolution -- but don't expect a
casual game of Crysis at that resolution. The ship date for the display is Q2
2008.
