OK, the title is a bit misleading... my front room now sports a Sony VPL-HW20 projector (onto 100 inch screen) - it's amazing for movies and is hooked up to a silent PC for lazy surfing.
Onto real monitors, when will they go beyond 2560*1600? I'm stuck at 2048*1200 currently as I'm waiting for larger before I upgrade (and using multiple monitors is less appealing - tried it but does not suit me, probably need to give it more time).
"4K" TVs and monitors are bound to hit the market soon. Up to 4096px horizontal res. Should be enough FTTB, no?
4K - ooh, yes please. Did look at the Red One 4K camera recently (not to buy, just interested and spent a bit of time on their site)
Problem will be the cost...
My nephew works on HD conferencing ("telepresence") for Cisco and he was talking about how his boss was negotiating for some new very large, super high res monitor with the company that's developing it. I don't know the specs, but the company wanted $500,000 to get a prototype to Cisco. They were willing to cut a deal though - buy two for only $800,000. Not sure of the outcome.
If your budget is really really big, I'll get you the contact info ;-)
