Quad HD for "only" USD 26,000 :-)

I'll take one, but $26,000 isn't attractive at all.

Also, who the hell is Barco?

There are some manufacturers mostly selling to industries like movie&TV production, medical, avionics ect.
Kinda like the medical line of NEC and Eizo, only lacking the consumer devision (Sony still sells monitors for video production but stopped making consumer models)

There's also a QuadHD monitor by

Couldn't resist posting the Barco link cause it's the first time I've seen one openly advertised.

It's interesting to watch these companies since the new monitor tech will often be introduced there first (Ikegami and Astrodesingn plan FED monitors for the end of 2009..)
 
You know, I 've always wondered how big would be too big of a display to use as a monitor for me; I think this definitely falls into that range. =p

Pixel density and size are the same as a 4 screen 28'' 1920 x 1080 setup.
I think you'd get used to it. ^_^
 
I don't understand this, unless you are shooting in 4K and want to screen you're raw footage in its native resolution, what other uses could this display have? ...apart from being a rediculous PC display...

Its like buying a 1080p TV where broadcast TV is still SD and there is no BD players. DVD upscaled to 1080p is meh at best.
 
Barco (Europe) is known by the pros as a manufacturer of conference-room and control-room displays. Barco has been around since 1934.

They've been around longer than some of you've been born -- In fact, some NASA-type control rooms are using Barco technology -- long before digital projectors were invented. They're a well established company.

End users usually have no use -- It's of interest for those high end applications, as for Hollywood production studios (4k films, etc). Nontheless, I've seen displays like these at conventions (CES), and they are damn impressive -- looks razor sharp even if you walk up close.

Barco is often Eizo league quality or better -- better quality than the run-of-the-mill Samsung or LG. Although it depends on the display.
 
What I'd like to know is "where would one find the video card that can drive a display like that?" (And how much would it cost?) Considering a single-link DVI output can only support up to 1920x1200 (right?) and you need dual-link DVI for 2560x1600, I would guess that even a dual-link DVI connection might reach its limit before 3840x2160. What comes after that? Triple-link DVI? Quad?...
 
There's probably a special 2D-only $7000 graphics card required...

It probably comes with the graphics card required to run it. Alot of extremely high end proprietary video equipment such as this does.

There doesn't seem to be anything special about the signal other than its resolution.
You'd probably only need to configure a card with two dual-link ports to address half of the screen each, same as using two 1920x2160 monitors. (like it is possible with T221 converter box models)
