Lol, hilarious post and well put.

I think this panel pixel doubled at 1080p would be ideal for a lot of us wanting bigger, clearer font in our ui. Can windows do pixel doubling as os x does, or is it only dpi settings? (which as much as I think is technically superior, that is to try to adjust the interface windows to any...

DrinkTea, I just sent you a pm! Good summing up of key points. From what I 've read so far it being usb powered is possible, as others have done it, although I don't know if the high ppi will limit it to either usb 3 only or min dp power. In terms of the housing I am of course 100% behind the...

Something else I noticed: The chromebook pixel's display in portrait is almost (to 0.15 inches) the same vertical height as a 21.5" 16/9 screen, and three chromebook pixel displays in sequence are slightly larger than a 21.5" panel in the horizontal direction. What does this mean? Any 21.5"...

I 've been rereading this thread, with everyone's great contributions here. It's a slow Sunday here and I decided to write a hypothetical kickstarter pitch: The DisplayPal, your computer screen's closest friend your best ally. All great projects start with an unmet need and a vision for...

as an aside, a stand imitating the g3 "lamp" imac but with a smaller half orb doubling as a usb/thunderbolt extention hub would look and function great. you could even actually stick a 2.5" hd space there as thunderbolt allows for fast daisy chain peripherals.... an suddenly the idea seems to...

i disagree janas, more and more people get exposed to high ppi via their phones and tablets, and are then looking at their computers and going shit that looks bad, high ppi monitors are not here yet for desktops, so that opens a nice, niche ;) , door and a market opportunity for gettin some of...

Great thread! I 'd say "I'm in" but I am afraid I have limited financial resources and technical expertise. Anyway my two cs are: a. With very high ppi panels around the corner this should come to the market fast. b. What could hurt it is the availability of cheap high ppi tablets to use as...

lol, great post

I was actually looking for someone having mod-ed, or giving instructions how to mod, or actually having manufactured a high ppi 13-17" stand alone monitor to use as a secondary screen in all the uses you mentioned. It amazed me that no one, as far as I looked, had come up with such a thing.

it's exactly because a "retina" designation, ie pixels indescernible for a certain diagonal size at a certain distance (which can be relatively easily calculated, and apple neither can or has to specify it for every diagonal screen size and viewing distance scenario) is very valid and...

i don like to use marketing terms, esp. so apple's, but retina is an apt term an its useful as it means that at the average typical usage distance 99% of the population wont tell pixels apart. it also means that the pixels will be tight enough to render an lcd screen effectively resolution...

xoleras, you dont seem to get it though i ve explained it to you, and you insist. a 27" desktop monitor doesnt have to go 300 ppi to qualify for retina,it has to arguably go over 135 or so ppi. so the 30" oled sony can very well be considered retina monitor, as the new sharp is too that can...

Kindler, the guys here have given you impeccable advice. It's really pretty much all you need to know and in detail. As a fellow sufferer of eye strain it's taken me over a year of my own research on the web and elsewhere to come to pretty much the same conclusions as what has been suggested to...

I do and have since a long time ago, albeit not as a computer interface. Sadly e-ink while marginally better than what it used to be, just isn't there yet. If you want to have a look at various eink models go to mobile read . com and to their wiki. Pixel qi, isn't eink btw, it's just reflective...
