How much do you think this would cost?

[Rubycon]

An IPS panel 32-40" (wide format) with the same pixel density as the iphone 4 "retinal" display?

Its native resolution would be very high and probably un-usable with most graphics systems. However scaling could really look good on this!

 

[happy medium]

hmmmm let me take a guess........... too much!

$3,000

 

[Idontcare]

>$10k

 

[Rubycon]

If they were $3k I'd swap out all of my 3007 and 3008 panels immediately! :biggrin:

$3,000

Yeah some people are telling me higher than this too.

>$10k

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

A few years ago IBM had a 20" (IIRC) 200 dpi monitor for something like $20k.

 

[Voo]

>$10k

Yeah, just look what you're already paying for the 30" 2560x1600 IPS panels.. I'd say that's even on the low side, after all that'd be a extreme luxury item which they wouldn't sell in the millions (i.e. no mass production)


But if we could get such a thing for 3k$ I'd have one the next day

 

[soccerballtux]

good luck getting one with 0 dead pixels.

 

[Barfo]

5k. But they can't be used in boats.

iPhone 4's screen is exactly 3" x 2" and 960x640. I think you guys are low-balling. 30" LCD @2560x1600 is approx. 25" x 16", so we're talking about something like 8000x5000 pixels for the same size. (40+ million pixels!) Idontcare has a better idea but I think it'd cost even more considering how tiny the volume would be in the market.

easily, probably more. just imagine what it would cost as an OLED display D:

True, true. The price of something like this would truly be sensitive to buyer volume.

Remember those 100" plasma and 100" LCD tv's that were one-off demo's in trade shows about 2 yrs ago?

To make a one-off item like that they were willing to sell them ~$140k.

A 30" OLED one-off item like what rubycon is talking about would easily be $250k. Divide the price if she buys two, or four.

If the market demand was such that millions could be made and sold then I'd imagine the floor price would be around $10k with today's production technology.

5yrs from now could be $3k...if the TAM was in the millions...which it won't be.

What do you figure the TAM is today for 30" LCD 2560x1600 displays? You think they sell a million of them in a year? Seems high to me.

$3,000

That was just for the monitor cables.

 

[faxon]

That was just for the monitor cables.

nah, by the time it comes out litepeak 100gb/s will probably be mainstream, shouldnt be any issue , cables will probably cost the same as they do now

 

[Rubycon]

I'd rather it be closer to 40" actually.
The pixel pitch of 2560x1600 on my Dell 3007/3008 monitors is borderline too coarse for me!

With a screen of such a high resolution it would make multimonitor archaic. With that much screen real estate and no bezel/borders things would be wonderful. Plus if you needed to look at it up close you still cannot see the pixels. Win/Win. Even if it cost half a million dollars. I can think of a lot of other things I see that cost 10X that and seem silly in comparison.

Hmmm.. Lamborghini Diablo

Super high resolution monitor.... Lamborghini Diablo.... super high resolution monitor..

Tough choice, tough choice

 

[Rubycon]

Easy choice for me - I don't drive! :biggrin:

 

[TemjinGold]

Your first AND second born.

 

[gorobei]

screw the panel makers, just cut out the middleman and project directly on the retina.

I DO drive and it would still be a extremely easy decision. Meh, car is car

 

[Martimus]

considering that it is 100X bigger than the iPhone screen, and there will be a high percentage of panels that cannot be sold due to defects over the large area, I feel that $10K is a pretty low estimate.

 

[Winterpool]

I don't require a 40-inch display, but I should certainly like something in the 20s with much greater pixel density. I'm frustrated that pixel pitch isn't shrinking dramatically: we should have far more pixels for high-res photography and artwork. Perhaps in this too, Apple can help generate consumer demand.

Does anyone know what kind of pixel density is possible with near-future OLED tech?

 

[WelshBloke]

I hope it would come with its own magnifying glass, text would be tiny on that thing!

Some time ago I was evaluating display options for us for very high resolutions and this was one of them: http://www.radiforce.com/en/products/col-ls560w.html

Max power consumption of 500W , I don't want to be near that monitor.

Hardware scaling would make this a non issue.
