Wow, from the headline I was hoping somebody was finally making a standalone "retina" monitor for high-end consumers. At $5500, this isn't quite still hitting that target. Still, IIRC when I first my first high-resolution monitor (a 30" 2560x1600 display from Apple, who made displays with that many pixels mainstream) it cost $2000, and I had to buy a $900 video card to drive it. This was maybe in 2006. Within a couple years though, you could get a similar rig for a little over $1000 and then-current Macs and PCs could drive it (at least higher end models). I hope we see similar progress here. It frustrates me that when I sit down at a desk to work I have to stare at these gigantic slabs of what (now) looks like huge pixelated crap, when my tablets, phones, and notebooks are all high-PPI. I use multiple 30 and 27 inch highres displays for the workspace they give, but they really look like crap in the modern high-ppi era.
