    sony gdm-fw900 and 2560x1600@75 hz or higher.. possible, but how exactly?

    Your intuition and calculations are correct. The dot pitch ranges from .23 to .25 as you move from the center out. Even with perfect focus, 1920x1200 is about the highest resolution it will fully resolve across the entire screen. As you calculated, 2304x1440 won't even be fully resolved in the...

    5,184 x 3,456 Resolution 18MP Canon Camera

    Two IBM T221s in portrait will give you 4800x3840, which is pretty damn close.

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    Thanks for the replies. I left my FW900 at my parents' house because it was taking too much room in my apartment, but I'll see what I can do eventually. Can't promise results.

    16:10 LCD at 120hz or even 3D

    The Sony FW900 is 16:10 and 120Hz-capable. Edit: but not an LCD, of course. And it can do 1920x1200 (higher with loss of horizontal detail) OR 120Hz, but not both.

    Very high resolution screens and backlight intensity

    I have no problem with the brighness on my new iPad. I used it outdoors a lot when I was in California back in May. The only really annoying thing is that you can't use it in portrait with polarized sunglasses. Most reading apps and the good browsers let you adjust minimum brightness for reading...

    Samsung 305T DVI to VGA adapter, IBM T40p

    Oops, missed that. Anyway this is a silly discussion. He's going to get a dock and a video card for his 9-year-old laptop just to drive a 30" monitor at 1280x800? The laptop itself has a 1400x1050 LCD.

    The 305T+ has a scaler. The 305T does not.

    Need Advice: ISO portrait mode monitor

    1.Yes. 1080 or 1050 pixels is cramped if you want to zoom in. 2. IPS have the best viewing angles but lose brightness even though they retain color fidelity. PVA panels usually have excellent viewing angles but some gamma shift. For your purposes I'd recommend the Dell 2408WFP...

    Retina on the Desktop

    Microsoft's solution is actually better than Apple's, IMHO. Apple requires two sets of resources, one regular and one retina. Microsoft suggests three: 100%, 140%, and 180%: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx "Native" Retina mode sacrifices usable...
