Toshiba LCD goes nuts for resolution

Darius Chang | Nov 05, 2007

Some flagship products make us stand and dance with glee, others cause us to double over in agony. Frankly, we do not know how to categorize Toshiba's latest LCD monitor which has an incredible 3,840 x 2,400-pixel resolution.

When it comes to resolution, more may not be merrier. In this case, squeezing this many pixels in a relatively small 22-inch display seems to be the doings of a mad optometrist who believes myopia is good. The densely packed pixels mean that text will be too small to read confortably. Though we do congratulate the Japanese maker for making this technological advance, the sad fact is this 2,079,000 yen (S$26,338.65) LCD makes no sense, as other specifications such as its 235cd/m2 brightness and 300:1 contrast ratio are under par for its price.

No news on when, or even if, this panel will make it outside Japan, but at this cost we doubt many will be holding their breath for this panel.
