1600x1200 17" OLED by next year from Samsung

It's still going to be some time before consumer products reach market. But great technology if they can pull it off none the less.
 
I'd dig it, but that resolution might be a tad too dense for my tastes. I do like my 2001FP @ 1600x1200, but it's a 20" display.
 
I hope they've fixed the screen-burn problem with OLED.

I saw some fancy car radio in a store earlier this year - it was the latest model with fancy OLED display. It can't have been in the store for more than a month, but the screen had already the radio station name severely and permanently burned into it.
 
I just hope they are cheaper than LCDs, not to mention 1600x1200 on a 17" is really fscking small.

What the hell are you on??

They have 1600x1200 on a 15" screen on laptops, and it looks LOVELY, 1280x1024 on 17" screens is too large IMO.

If they can release this for a good price, then i'll be all over it.

I replace monitors like video cards.

but thats not the majority I rarely swap out a monitor had the same crt for 3 1/2 years

lol, that depends on how good your eyes are.
 
The only problem I have with 1600x1200 on an LCD is that for gaming you're basically forced to run at that resolution. There's no way my 9700PRO can run newer games at that resolution at decent frame rates, so it would basically force me to upgrade to an X800 or 6800U.
 
what about the contrast ratio and vividness of color? the most important criteria i look for in monitors...
if they are half as good as current crop of NF diamondtrons, i might consider them...

How do you ever expect o get rid of those jaggies.

From what I've heard, it's supposed to be much better.

Ummmm, 1600x1200 eliminates the vast majority of the jaggies....Plus, being an LCD, if I run it at a non-native, non-equally divisible resolution, I get free AA (e.g. at 1024x768)

1600x1200 does get rid of some jaggies, but not all. The thing that we are supposed to do is increase resolution in the same size medium, but that's not what's happening.

For ex. LCDs

15" is 10x7
17" is 12x10
20" is 16x12

For ex. CRTs according to optimal resolution

15" 8x6 - I'm guessing here.
17" 10x7, with some having 12x10
19" 12x10
22" 16x12

OLEDs are having 1600x1200 pixels in a 17" space which means better picture quality, because the pixels will be closer together, compared to previous technologies that are not able to do that.

About that free AA - you don't get the crispiness of the native resolution, even though it still looks pretty decent.

how you think 1600x1200 looks on a 17" monitor may have to do with the monitor you are using.

my parents recently purchased a compaq 7550 and it can run at 1600x1200 without looking bad. The text can be read with little effort. It it nice.

they were using one of my monitors while they were shopping for a new one and it is not nearly as nice. the highest resolution it could run at was 1280x1024 and when it ran at that resolution it was blurry. so, if you have a nice 17" monitor, the 1600x1200 can look pretty good.
 
Large fonts on a 15" UXGA screen look amazing. Most higher-end laptops include an option for a 15" UXGA screen (Dell, HP/CPQ, IBM, etc.).

Large fonts? Hell, regular sized fonts look sweet, too. I now can't stand going back to my 19" CRT at home, apart from gaming, I just use my laptop all the time!

Just check out some fo the newer laptops, mine is Dell Inspiron 5150, the screen is awesome.
 
It'll likely be ridiculously expensive (crossing fingers) but maybe it'll push the prices of LCDs lower. 🙂
 
You guys have to change your attitudes about screen resolutions. We're going to soon be in a world where resolution will be measured in DPI rather than absolute numbers in the same way they are on printers. Pretty soon, screens are gonna be 300 or 600 DPI. Resolutions like 1600x1200 be perceived as being ridiculously low quality in the same way we currently perceive 256 color VGA to be low quality. Ultimately, screen pixels will be too small to see with the naked eye and visible jaggies on lines will be ancient history.

OS's and applications will simply have to adapt to the higher resolutions. They will have to incorporate vector icons rather than raster icons and they will have to start drawing accoring to inches and % of the screen rather than absolute pixel height & width.

OLED's will be in high demand for notebooks because they offer big power savings and significant space savings.

damn... sounds mighty impressive. hope the process of transition is a rather slow and steady one as i am just about to shell out some big $$$ on a new CRT 😱
