it seems that in 2001 everyone has 4K prototypes at work. Well, according to HN at least.
Personally I had to pay $500 for a 19 inches that would do 1280x1024, CRT. the screen isn't even flat. flat screen crts were out of my price league.
Yesterday I bought a 27" of much higher resolution, for $300. So yeah, right.
- yardie 13y agoThe price has moved down, the tech hasn't moved up, at least not a whole lot. I bought a Sony 20" flat trinitron in 2002 from a dotbomb property sale. It was capable of 1600x1200 and up to 120Hz. Traditionally, the high end displays come down in price and the volume sales pays for R&D for the next high end displays. Today this is not the case, look at the displays going into 300$ tablets compared to desktop displays. tablet resolutions are rocketing while laptops are static at 768, 900, or 1440 (if you pay for it). The GPUs are more than capable of 4K now yet how many 4K displays are available?
