"That said, I'd love to have a couple of 32" 2560 x 1600 displays for my desktop, but I think that is still a couple of years off from being 'mainstream'" Overclockers have a sale on 27" 2560x1440 displays today. They're selling for £311. I bought one about a year ago for £450 - worth every penny. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-019-HO http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-019-... That's not a high-DPI/retina display though, just a regular DPI.

Ah yes, Korean IPS monitors. They are really amazing I have one myself and they give amazing bang for your buck. Read more about them here: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/07/the-ips-lcd-revolution.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/07/the-ips-lcd-revolut...

...and with a 6ms response time - Not bad. I'm in the market for a dual screen setup, so I've been watching these closely. I'm probably going to wait for black friday though to see if I can nab a decent deal.

I got myself an HP ZR2740w (2560x1440) a few weeks back (the old ZR40w relegated to secondary screen). Definitely worth its price.

I've been watching the korean ones on ebay after reading the coding-horror article. An acquaintance of mine has a 2560 x 1600 native resolution video projector. He was showing it off by projecting on to a 120" screen. One of the things that struck me about that setup is 'the wall as monitor' had some very interesting stuff at that density. It felt like it could be a very productive environment.

  I believe the issue with using it as your primary monitor is that projectors have limited bulb life, and the bulbs are often almost as expensive as the projectors themselves.

I have a Korean no-brand 27" 2560x1440 IPS screen that I picked up for 250,000KRW (that should be about £145). I'm in Korea so that makes the big difference on cost plus lower taxes. They will come down in price far more yet.
