IMHO, the reason why the ViewSonic/T220 wasn't adopted in wider use isn't because of the reasons you listed above. It was because very few graphic cards could push that many pixels back in 2003.
- tjoff 13y agoIf you could afford the monitor the graphic card would hardly be an issue.
- ANTSANTS 13y agoThat, and lack of operating system support for high PPI displays. A friend of mine has his PC hooked up to a plasma TV, and it's absolutely astounding how poorly Windows 7's UI element scaling "feature" works, in 2013.
- Volpe 13y agoA plasma TV has really LOW PPI... Like it's 50+ inches with only 1080 pixels down the screen... That's like a factor of 10 worse than retina displays...
- ANTSANTS 13y agoNo kidding. The effective PPI (number of dots that make up the display / size of the image being projected onto your retinas) of a large TV viewed at a distance is pretty high, though, so both "retina displays" and large, low-resolution TVs viewed from a typical distance require large fonts etc. to be legible.
