It should be easier to make a 24" monitor with that resolution than a 9.7".

HUH? How so? Tayb strikes again...

Much lower pixel density? Know it never reclaimer strikes again.

You realize that panels have to be made in the real world, not your imagination right? Retooling an entire factory line to then make much larger panels is not "easier". Which is why what you said is retarded and has nothing to do with pixel density. If it was that "easy", we would already be using them!

Not to mention how cost effective doing such a thing is. Would you pay $4,000 for such a display?

But just keep being a little idiot troll.

There is a market. I paid over $3000 for my 2560x1600 30" in 2005 and would again if there were a larger, higher resolution display. Once TV manufacturers need a new gimmick to sell TVs at the same pace as the initial HD push, they will increase the resolutions again.

Yeah, but how big is that market?

One of the saddest statements about the high end display market in recent memory is how Pioneer couldn't make money with their Kuros. They still have the best picture quality of any display out there, so even being 2+ years ahead of its competition wasn't enough for them to sell in enough quantity (at a very reasonable price, IMO) to make it worthwhile to produce.

Apple has the luxury of a ridiculously loyal following. When a normal company produces a high end product at a premium price, it gets largely ignored. When Apple does it, their base touts its superiority. I hate it when Apple charges a premium for useless benefits, but I love it when they make a positive change in consumer preferences.

With notebooks, I really, REALLY want some more high contrast displays instead of the 200:1 CR junk we get now (I don't even care if it's TN). Apple gets praise for their near-1000:1 CR, it's cheap enough for Asus to put in their eeePC, and it's cheap enough for budget TN monitors. Why on earth do sub-$1k notebooks have such awful blacks? I'd easily pay $100 to avoid this maybe ~$20 cost cutting.
