Yeah, shame they aren't exactly Costco-priced material :P


MONITORS FOR THE MASSES

COOL, too expensive for me though

2560 * 1600 display = a lot of dead or lazy pixels me thinks.

imagine porn on something like that

It's so beautiful I think I'm going to


Posted by La5eR on Jun-28-2004 21:17:

oh sure its HD but what about the refresh rate for gamers. Not to mention the FPS.

indeed

is 22 inch, and can support 3840 x 2400

for shame, apple.

i think itd be cool to have a huge CRT. like a 400 inch glass screen. flat.

I think you are a little confused. There is no refresh in a LCD panel so therefore no refresh rate. There is a rsponse time for a pixel to change and that is reported as 16ms. thats pretty fast like 62.5kHz.

Cool screen!

holy mother of god those look sweet, my damn 17in seems like a little pos now

The new screens are amazing. OS X Tiger doesn't seem worth the upgrade though.

i'm seen the apple store take back and replace a 17 inch pb with 1 dead pixel.

who wants to bet you'll be seeing that in PvD's or BT's studio pretty soon.

I was thinking the same thing.

They are crazy expensive.
$3,299.00-30in
$1,999.00-23in
$1,299.00-20in


Posted by NinetyNinety on Jun-29-2004 21:25:

Hahahahaha, Now, THIS is a Cinema Display




92"


BTW: visit www.go-l.com they have the best computers I have seen, their next top-of-the-line pc will have a 4 terabytes HDD...

That thing sells for $18,000. You can buy four 30" Apple monitors for less than $14,000. Since that's all that display is. Just four monitors screwed together. Then the Apples will give you 120" of workspace. Owned!!!

A-Duh!!! No. If you know about measuring displays, they are measured in a total diagonal way, so, if you attach four 30" displays, you just don't add them up. You measure them diagonally and find out that you actally get 99" of workspace. But you certainly don't get this:

Defying the laws of relativity and space, the all-new Grand Canyon Series Displays are the world's largest and most spectacular professional monitors ever designed. The 2.5" thin Grand Canyon Display Series breaks grounds in every engineering and architectural design detail, bringing your computing visuals and immersive video experience to whole new levels. Unlike anything you've ever seen before (or thought possible), the Grand Canyon Displays are breathtakingly designed and exclusively custom-built in re-enforced aluminum, maximizing both their enclosure size and the flexibility of positioning where physical space is at a premium. They are the ultimate adrenaline rush for the hardcore gamer and the ideal tool for creative professionals for when display space maximization and image quality are absolute priorities. Delivering world premier resolutions of up to a colossal 25X VGA at 3840 x 1200 pixels and 16.7 million colors in an ultra-wide color gamut, they ally super wide viewing angles, with unprecedented fast video response using enhanced Ultra-Speed� Display Technology. Capable of delivering true out-of-this-world color fidelity and featuring R-G-B auto-geometry sensing color correction, the Grand Canyon monitors set a new class for the utmost demanding graphic applications and large cluster presentation environments. But their size is only the beginning of the story. Under the skin, you'll find the most advanced technologies and engineering, in one design that brings the way you interact with computers to radical new heights, and the view of your desktop to a breathtaking new perspective. Get ready to settle for nothing less. The new Grand Canyon Displays. Professional immersive imaging, that's like no other.


...This:

quote:
The advantages of the Grand Canyon LCDs are as groundbreaking as they are inventive. Both in contrast, video response and color reproduction, the Grand Canyon Displays provide leading stunning image quality on pair with its colossal desktop view. In our design, we address each pixel individually, creating sharper text than any CRTs, while giving it a hardware anti-aliasing double-depth filtering for incredibly smooth pixel pattern. This means unlike other LCD technologies, the Grand Canyon displays manage to delicately soften the edges of graphics as well as text, blending and conveying unparalleled subtleties on all visuals. Fluttering and ghosting have been further eliminated by a Dynamic Phase-Timing Circuitry (DPTC) keeping the display sharp under any circumstance no matter the video source. They deliver distortion-free images from edge-to-edge, which never need adjusting. Finally, derived from our experience in Professional LCD Video Projection filtering techniques, the panels are exclusively coated with a double anti glare hard coat and an ultra-thin UV-668 filter, for an added 15% increased contrast ratio and glare reduction. Also because LCDs are only as good as the components "behind them" we use FFR-type CR-Tubes for extra long lamp life and fabulous linearity along the entire display.


And this:

quote:
All about UltraSpeed� Display Technology.

Though all modern LCDs panels have fairly acceptable video response on the back to white fall times (and that is how most display manufacturers evaluate their products' specs), this is unfortunately not the "real world". The real world is not made just of black and whites but instead, of thousands of delicate shades of grey, precisely where most LCD display technologies fail. Even panels claiming to have fast response times of around 25ms, realistically have figures that are close to 3x slower when running graphic imaging and fast moving visuals. UltraSpeed� Technology makes a complex variation on the theme of supplying the correct voltage to the pixels moving them from one direction into the other, both by LCD's physical native construction, and most importantly by the proprietary circuitry of the inverters used. First, instead of applying constant pixel regulation voltage, UltraSpeed� Displays use velocity burst electric feeds. For a fraction of a second, about 10x more voltage than the LCD's pixels actually required values are fed to actively change their display angle, forcing them to move much faster to their final position, but controlled quick enough so that the "excess voltage" is cut before burn-in time. This forces the physical movement of a pixel to be much faster while still under the parameters of their technical voltage limitsl. Secondly, instead of applying directional current feed to each pixel, UltraSpeed� Displays use duplex-current (similar to what AC is). This counter electricity is used as a "pixel travel breaking effect" in order to precisely stop the pixel movement into a specific locked position, instead of simple stopping to supply positive or negative voltage at a certain given time. This counter-voltage design allows for extremely precise and fast pixel positioning while guaranteeing a real world response time that is much faster on both the grey to grey and white to black falls of the pixel positioning and travel routines. UltraSpeed� Displays provide response times down to around 15ms grey shading rotation and 11ms white to black.



OWNED!!

Who cares? That is 4 monitors in one... I just posted about Apples new displays...never said they were the LARGEST and BEST in the world.
