Look at the Google Nexus 10, It's 10 inches and it has a resolution that's the same 30-inch Monitors starting at $1,000. (2560x1600) let's do a little bit of math, shal we? if we divide eachof the horizantial and vertical pixels by 10 (number of diangle inches), we get 256x160, so for every diangle inch of pixels, there's 256 horizantal pixels and 160 vertical pixels. Multiply that by 30 and you get a resolution of 7680x4800. (I've checked my math with this calculator and the PPI matches)
Now, I'm not even sure if Display Port hand handle it at 60hz, but speaking of Display technology, IBM Made 22-inch 3840×2400 Monitors, (Above 4k) but they made it so long ago. It's so old, Apple was still on PowerPC, not when these Monitors were made, but when they were discontinued! They're so old, when these Monitors first came out, the Twin Towers still existed! How the IBM T220/T221 worked was they had two DVI Cables and it would show up as two Monitors, but the best version at maz rez is only 48hz.
I'm guessing we won't see 30-inch Monitors get to the Nexus 10 PPI, not untill we get to 8K and we're not even adopting 4k yet...
On that note, do you feel that there's actually any real visible benefit to, say, 1080p vs. 1600p on a 10-inch display? At what point does the ppi density go beyond the threshold of "small enough, that'll do"?
actually from what i hear Eizo is planning on releasing a monitor with a 4096x2160 resolution at 36 in, also Viewsonic is planning on releasing a 32in monitor with a 3840x2160. however these may go in the 30k+ price range. also Intel is predicting that 2560x1600 monitors will be mainstream by 2015 and monitors with a resolution of 4800x2700 will be available
Keep in mind both input lag and response time with these monitors, it is too high for gaming and the actual monitor are somewhere behind the hardware to drive them well.
Exactly. 24'' and already there's no need for AA due to small pixel size. SO what's the point of increasing pixel density even more by crushing 1600p in 10'' from the 24?
also, the larger you make the pannel, the larger the chances of hardware faliure. so for companies to maximize profit, they need to factor in what people would buy, and the manufacturing cost. if only one in every two monitors work, and the market is small, they are not going to be making them.
