A 1600x1200 resolution displays 1.9 million pixels. Not bad. Now imagine the significant improvement if you had a display with a resolution of 3840x2400! It would display 9.2 million pixels! IBM have developed such a monitor. It is a 22.2" (diagonal) LCD panel; 3840x2400 displaying those 9.2 million pixels at 24 bits per pixel. They say the results are incredible. Perhaps even more interesting is the hardware solution they developed to drive the display in the absence of video cards capable of the task. Note that they are able to display animations, at 5 frames per second, where the high resolution images of each frame are over 22gb! Astounding pixel throughput!

Here's a pdf format article about what IBM is calling DEEP BLUE. I want one. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
