Just read in the news paper about this 22 inch TV by IBM that has 9 Million Pixels.

Recall, 720P HDTV standard is 1440x768 or just 1 Million Pixels and the famous 1080P HDTV is 1920x1080 or just 2 Million Pixels.

Price is not bad. Initially sold for $ 300,000, these IBM TVs now are just $ 6000.

------------------

BTW, I'm sure we all zulmis are aware of dime a dozen Progressive scan TVs and DVD players (less than $ 500 for a pair). Just wonder why all Indian DVDs are going the wrong way from being Progressive in the past to field averaged interlaced now.

Not TV, monitor.

Saw a review of this the 10th anniversary edition of PC Pro recently, online review can be found here;

..a monitor aimed for graphic professionals.

Really it's a monitor, but the way it was reported in the news was as a TV. Technically it's a TV as well, because the unit reported had a TV tuner built in.

Interesting point reported was that the display was set up right beside an actual window of the same size as the screen; the screen displaying exactly the same view as the actual window view to outside and it was difficult to distinguish between the window and the screen. Stands to reason as our eye has a res of 4 Million pixels and the screen has a higher resolution (3,840 x 2,400 pixels).

sony showed a $10K US$ set at CEDIA, early next year as XBR WEGA, 1080P and Huge 70 inch! I am drooling!

If the black level is acceptable I might buy one.
