Reputedly at 3840x2160 native res (4X the pixels of 1920x1080), we need the next gen GPU FAST!

Edit: Hmmm...The 4X reference is referring to the DisplayPort potential not the monitor. >< Nonetheless, still a great looking panel.

I hope you are right Swtethan!

Lol I bet that's going to vaporize the wallet. How are you going to run 3840x2160, when Dual-Link DVI only supports a max of 2560x1600?

 

[defiantsf]

Hence... the DisplayPort instead of DVI.

The $$$ we pay for the next everything - Vista for DX10, etc.

Edit: Looking at the picture closer, it looks like the panel comes with a DVI to DisplayPort converter, but one of the two DVI ports is stubbed. Interesting.

I really dont care for my step up anymore, I get a 20%+ gain in performance thanks to my 630/2000 overclock on my card. It would have been sweet to spend $175 on a GTX, but I think its best to spend $266 on a Q6600 this july 22nd.

If only Dell had a "Monitor Step-up" program.

Ohhay, super slim/sleek LCD on the verge of OLED...

Not impressed. LCD still needs to perfect image quality / performance before they slim anything down.

Actually, even single link DVI can support WQUXGA (3840 x 2400) with reduced blanking and reduced refresh rate. IBM had WQUXGA monitors that could be driven with 1,2 or 4 DVI links, the added links enabled increased refresh rates. Dual Link DVI is limited by the cable itself more than anything else.

Windows is going to need support to scale up programs properly soon...

Dual Link is missing the point anyway as it comes from the necessity for two transmitters when their frequency (bandwidth) is insufficient. Higher frequency (and thus adequate) transmitters for higher resolutions are available but I suppose it will take awhile for mass adoption.

Vista takes care of most of that at least.
